Idlewild · Other Songs - Idlewild
With your life drifting in and out of circles
Until I unfold lines
And watch you run around
And time takes us apart in hidden ways
You could always trust in
Time to take some kind of part in hidden ways
You could always trust
No, mention doesn't care for logic
So it moves to become a variation of you
A variation of you
I can do much better than Saturday night
If I'm willing to find a variation of you
Time takes us apart in hidden ways
You could always trust in
Time to take some kind of part in hidden ways
You could always trust in time
And time takes us apart in hidden ways
You could always trust in time
Time wants some kind of part in hidden ways
You could always trust in time
You could always trust in time
