Take the handle bars As fools collide in cars Can you hear it as it starts The cry of history repeating All these things they'll soon mean nothing As the chronicle is cast Weeping and wondering why Such things must last When we don't know why The present fades before us We don't know where it disappears All we know is that it will We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever Times a sinking barge We are rusting, we aren't anchored As the seasons turn to ones we can't believe in Standing for some kind of system With pursuit for pride and full of false rewards Playing games to hourglasses Which we turn however fast Suits us now we can only measure We need to learn we can't control it No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever See we don't know why The present fades before us We don't know where it disappears All we know is that it will Yeah, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever No, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
