The Burnells

Lyrics

HERE IN THIS MOMENT, I’VE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME
FOR REFLECTING ON THINGS THAT I’VE SAID AND I’VE DONE
BUT FOR BETTER AND WORSE, WHAT WILL IT COME TO
IF WE’RE LOSING OUR CONNECTIONS TO THE THREAD THAT CONNECTS US, EVERY ONE?

FROM WHERE I’M STANDING, THE LAY OF THE LAND IS UNCLEAR
THINGS THAT ONCE SEEMED SO NEAR NOW SEEM SO FAR AWAY
THE PATHS OF THE MOON AND THE STARS PROCEED UNAFFECTED
BUT OUR VANITY MAKES US BELIEVE THERE ARE DEBTS THAT ARE NOT OURS TO REPAY

Chorus
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
NOW THAT EVERYTHING’S BREAKING APART?
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
TRUE LOVE AND A FLEETING AFFAIR OF THE HEART?

CONVERSATIONS THAT NEVER AGAIN MAY BE HAD
CERTAIN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT DISAPPEAR INTO THE BLUE
LIKE THE WRITING ON THE WALL, IT CAN’T BE MISTAKEN
WARNING US OF DREAMS WE NEVER LIKED BELIEVING WOULD COME TRUE

{Instrumental verse}

Chorus
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
NOW THAT TIME REFUSES TO CRAWL?
CAN YOU MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN
WHERE WE STAND AND WHERE WE’RE BOUND TO FALL?

I’M COUNTING THE COST OF ALL I’VE TAKEN FOR GRANTED
AFFIRMING TRUTHS THAT I KNOW IN MY HEART
REEXAMINING THINGS IN THE LIGHT OF THE REALIZATION
THAT I’M CLOSER TO THE END THAN I AM TO THE START

BUT HERE IN THIS MOMENT, I’VE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME …
