Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
Keeping time and an open mind
Keeping time and an open mind

Can I open with a question? Not a sugar coated lesson
Less than 20 minutes later when I'm catching dirty looks
From the ones who won't admit when they're wrong
Scaring all the girls just by repeating the name of this song

You think you're getting off easy
But you're barely getting along, playing harder to get
Got no issue with the time when you’re the love of your life
The more you try to make a stand the longer you’re gonna sit

Too fulfilling, committing for a full go
Too fulfilling, committing for a fool

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
Keeping time and an open mind
Keeping time and an open mind

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
As anyone can see that you've created your god
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life

Whoa, way to make a clearer day
Whoa, way to bring a dreamer awake

Are you open to suggestion?
My education guess is no answer, gotta circle yes or no
Knowing that I'm right when you're left where you don’t want to be
Wasting time blaming, not admitting that you’re starting to see

You’re not getting off easy
But you're barely getting along, playing harder to get
Still pretending that you're ending what should have never began
Trying hard to prove me wrong but I ain't seen nothing yet

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
Keeping time and an open mind
Keeping time and an open mind

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
As anyone can see that you've created your god
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life

Too fulfilling, committing for a full go
Too fulfilling, committing for a full go
Too fulfilling, committing for a full go
Too fulfilling, committing for a full go

Whoa, way to make a clearer day
Whoa, way to bring a dreamer awake
Whoa, way to make a clearer day
Whoa, way to bring a dreamer awake

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
Keeping time and an open mind
Keeping time and an open mind

Listen up before the day is faded
I got a really short story to tell
As anyone can see that you've created your god
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life

Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life
As anyone can see that you've created your god
You’re counting on hope, pretending that you’re someone you're not
