I've been by your side for a while I've seen the world through your eyes And I hope you don't mind when I say that it's not so beautiful I know you feel the weight of each day, and I know you say When is my time? When will I find a better way? But my time has come, my life is callin' I've loved every moment with you, but there ain't no use in stallin' The meter is runnin' baby, I've got to go But before I get goin' baby, just want to let you know
I'm the last chance for your great escape I'll be the fire of every warm embrace Come with me girl, leave this place behind We'll make a new life with your hand in mine I'm your last chance
I know you don't need me baby, I'm no one's savior And if you swear it sounds that way And if you're angry baby, I don't blame ya I've just seen you waiting so long for your ship to come in But you get what you take from this life And I think it's time to begin The meter is runnin' baby, I've got to go But before I get goin' baby, just want to let you know
