Hours - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Hours drag by over several weeks

Once they're done

We jump ahead to a new set of weeks again

And we skip a whole couple months

Right when we've finished the day again

And again we wish for those old kinds of weeks

And they're gone

They're gone

I could feel scared but I'll try not to mind

I'd like to remember what made life seem so kind

I won't feel strong until my heart can unwind

The wait can be beautiful if you step out of line

I can't feel what you are feeling now

And that's a hard thing to realize

Too late and in too deep

When I'm not myself

I can't fake a lot of things

I can't become new

I won't change a lot of things

But maybe some for you

Maybe for you

I can't be afraid anymore

I'm not afraid

Something's brought new meaning into punching in today

I can feel some more than the past few days

I can hold my breath and feel less afraid

It may fall away someday

It might not be today

Motivation's not a constant thing

I know you will say

But here now I have a reason to keep driving on

'Cause certain things may keep me to keep walking on

And on and on

But it'll start over

The good and the bad

You may try to shut it out but you'll drive yourself mad

And the hours go by slowly

And the weeks go fast

The seconds count down and then

You'll miss the hours you had
