Time shakes, found you at the water
♪ ♪ ♪
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
This world at times will blind you
Still I know I'll see you there
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren't always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you've been seeing?
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming?
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders
Will we burn or we just smolder?
Somehow I know I'll find you there
Oooh, I wanna see if you can change it, change it
