Past, Present, Future
Past, Present, Future
Living life day to day
there's mistakes and motion
every Saturday night.
Anywhere you go
there's people around who don't really
truly know.
They all look,
judging by what they see
not by what they know
using their eyes
but not their minds.
All stopped at a red light.
Hitting the breaks again
stopping themselves
stopping before they know
Know who they're looking at
Know the past, present and future
Know it all and still
be able to love
even though they know.
They let the rain fall through their fingertips
Letting the unclaimed knowledge slip away
as quickly as raindrops leave them behind.
Losing the opportunity for knowledge
Knowledge of another person
a person who might be able to keep secrets
become their other half.
If only they'd catch the rain
they might find that they are missing
something in their life
something stuck between
day and night.
Something that lives in the eves
the breaks of dawn and dusk
that they can only know by finding out
Past, Present and Future.
