[Verse 1: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
What are you looking at? What do you see?
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?
Whenever you're watching, changing the scene
The time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Can't dry your eyes or say it's alright
Even though he might
And she can't kiss your cheek
As the days become weeks,
No rewind, no repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
[Verse 2: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Hey, are you listening?
What is the sound of things that you lose
That you never have found?
You're finding the way or turning around
Dancer with destiny, tempter of fate
The life that you lived is only a taste
Sometimes the sweetest is the time that you waste
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
I won't dry your eyes or say it's alright
'Cause sometimes that's a lie
Even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks,
No rewind, no repeats
[Bridge: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Steal your heart
Life is hard
Never easy, believe me
[Verse 3: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
There'll be no more questions, maybes or mights
Darkness descends, run out of light
When you go blind you get second sight
The deeper you dive, the greater the heights
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
So don't dry your eyes or say it's alright
Life is hard, it's a fight
Even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks
No rewind, no repeats
As the days become weeks
No rewind, no repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
What are you looking at? What do you see?
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?
Whenever you're watching, changing the scene
The time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Can't dry your eyes or say it's alright
Even though he might
And she can't kiss your cheek
As the days become weeks,
No rewind, no repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
