Am I still asleep? Or too caught up in my thinking?
How come I failed to see the poison I've been drinking?
Is there a way to start all over? Could I make another start?
Get back the friend that I grew up with? In all these years we've grown apart
And if my days were numbered
If my time on earth had come
Would he wait on heaven's doorstep?
Would he be there to prove me wrong?
Am I still asleep? Or too caught up in my thinking?
How come I failed to see the ship I'm on is sinking?
Far too long I've been crawling down the endless walk of shame
Looking for the girl I loved, but who never knew my name
And if my days were numbered
If my time on earth had come
Would she wait on heaven's doorstep?
Would she be there to prove me wrong?
Am I still asleep? Or too caught up in my thinking?
The amount of time left for me just keeps on shrinking
I never knew that regret would come at such a cost
All the things I've never said to the ones I've lost
And if my days were numbered
If my time on earth had come
Would they wait on heaven's doorstep?
Would they be there to prove me wrong?
