I really should be going now

Because if I stay

There's only so much left of the day

And if you ever want to reach back

Would you be so kind

To let the sunlight play with your mind

And if you ever want to walk out

Would you be set free?

Because there are so many places to see

And I could be the wild child

And you could be the sky

And we can go about gathering time

Yes, and I'll stay awake if you keep on laughing

And it's all we can do for the world in passing

And it's all that we have and all that we need to find

I really should be going now

Before it gets too late

All the chances that I didn't take

I stand before the mirror

And I count to three

And then I become nothing like me

But I'll stay awake if you keep on laughing

It's all we can do for the world in passing

And it's all that we have and all that we need to find

Yes, I'll stay awake if you keep on dreaming

And it's all we can do for the world we believe in

And it's all that we have and all that we need to find

'Til never or now, never or now

I'll take your place, if you would like my place to stay

Never or now, never or now

I'll take your place, if you would like my place to stay

Never or now, never or now

I'll take your place, if you would like my place to stay

I really should be going now

Because if I stay

There's only so much left of the day

And if you ever want to reach back

Would you be so kind

To let the sunlight play with your mind
