We've slipped through time
Found level ground
We've framed the past
In shining glass

But I can't be there to hold you when you're frightened
And I won't be 'round to see what you've become now

Consider this, consider why
Silence grew between the miles
Just close your eyes
Try not to see

But I can't be there to hold you when you're frightened
And I won't be 'round to see what you've become now

You always wanted more and I gave you less
But every second you've lost is adding to the stress
We never had much time, what is peace of mind
But just a last minute thought to get you through the night
To get you through,
