Can't rely on time

To change the way you feel

'Cause time it often loses track

Of who it's got to heal

You can read my palm

And tell me that my future looks strong

And I will play along

Better that than to wait to prove you wrong

'Cause it's another overcast day

Like it's been for a week

And I would blame

Feeling down on the weather

If I had no other reason to be

People let you down

When you least expect them to

And hearts they move around so fast

And love it somehow gets renewed

And my state of mind is hiding in

The shadow you left behind

And this song is playing in my head

As you walk away in perfect time

And you and I are just saving hope

In pockets and of sleeves

For rainy days when you need it most

Rainy days like these

And my state of mind is hiding in

The shadow you left behind

And this song is playing in my head

As you walk away in perfect time

But you can't rely on time

To change the way you feel

'Cause time it often loses track

Of who it's got to heal

And my state of mind is hiding in

The shadow you left behind

And this song is playing in my head

As you walk away in perfect time
