I can't take it, I can't take it

I can't make it, move in time

I can't take it, I can't take it

I can't make it, pass me by



As I stand paralysed like stone

And the future just became the day

I wonder what it was I was doing that seemed so urgent

Anyway

As I do everyting but what's important

I slip back into peace

I wonder why I keep on bothering to look back

Endlessly



Everything fast forwards right past me

And all I seem to be able to do is just stand there

And grieve



[pre-chorus]

For myself, for my life,

For the things that feel behind

I couldn't hold on to it all

With so much on my mind

If I picked up another piece

I couldn't keep on juggling

Those I have, without blinking back these tears



[chorus]

(If you), think what you see is real

(If you,) want to know what I believe

(Then come,) and see through me

(The things,) that will never be



As I stand with my jaw hung slack

I realise it's not too late to try

I wonder what will happen if I just let this last deadline

Pass me by

As the water rushes to my lips and I slowly begin to drown

I wonder what took the pressure so long to finally

Break me down



Everything fast forwards right past me

And all I seem to be able to do is just stand there

And grieve



I can't take it, I can't take it

I can't make it, move in time

I can't take it, I can't take it

I can't make it, pass me by



[chorus]



(HEY! Repeated)

It's too late to replay

The future is here, just clear the way

Can't undo your mistakes

The time is now no more delay



I can't take it

I can't make it, move in time

I can't take it

I can't make it, pass me by
