FIFTEEN MINUTES

There are things that divide
We were young, we were bruised after so many fights
Then something went wrong or nothing was right
Its argument ended shut
You stake your claim with a grin but enough is enough
Have you ever been somewhere alone?
(You're about to be somewhere alone)

And you try and you try
Though you never get sight
Of the point in the books that you read
And sometimes you cannot make sense of the words
But sometimes its better that way

It's enough that you care
It's enough that you took all that time to prepare
Something's you know, and others you don't
I got your back in a fight
And you know I got your back no questions asked
So don't be so hard on yourself anytime...

That you try and you try
Though you never get sight
Of the point in the books that you read
And sometimes you just can't make sense of the words
But sometimes its better that way

My fifteen minutes are up
Now I'm a bum without loving and with no one to love
We've had better luck, a holiday bust
Then you're caught by surprise
An element you forget it happens all of the time
So there's an image of you that I'll never forget

And you try and you try
Still you'll never get by
Past the point in the books that you read
Something's we're better off not knowing "why?"- otherwise
You will try and you try though you never get sight
Of the point in the books that you read
Yeah something's we're better off not knowing "why?"
And sometimes it's better that way
