[4 bar melodic guitar into with main riff then bass and drums begin]
[verse 1]
A world away the time of day
That drags on like the fog
It covers me in shades of gray
That to this day I can’t wash off
The distance is an overpass
That I decided to pass by
I’ve given up my right of way
And now I’m constantly asking why
[chorus]
Forgot, for what?
For time is not
It’s not the answer here
I told ya we got, this shot
This time why not?
Why not just welcome in the year?
[2 bars melodic guitar]
[verse 2]
Folded up a twisted shell
Tossed in yesterday
Losing grip on doing well
Since you’ve gone away
Fever holds me like you did
Now you’re growing cold
Embrace the loss of everything
Now my presence just grew old
[pre chorus]
Yeah now my presence just grew old
I guess my presence just grew old
[chorus]
Forgot, for what?
For time is not
It’s not the answer here
I told ya we got, this shot
This time why not?
Why not just welcome in the year?
Oh no-ow, Forgot, for what?
For time is not
It’s not the answer here
I said what we got, this shot
This time why not?
Why not just welcome in the year?
[bridge, more intensity]
And I stop to hear the sirens
That are blaring in my head
Givin’ in to givin up
All I’ve done is bled
I’m angry for the left undone
I’m lost and lacking grace
In all my thoughts we’ve come undone
But that don’t mean you’ve been replaced!
[chorus]
Forgot, for what?
For time is not
It’s not the answer here
I told ya we got, this shot
This time why not?
Why not just welcome in the year?
Oh no-ow, Forgot, for what?
For time is not
It’s not the answer here
I said what we got, this shot
This time why not?
Why not just welcome in the year?
[fade the song out with the “welcome” line]
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Yea-ah-ah
I said now welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
