Time on your own never ending
Time keeps its own time
Here we stand at the beginning
When heroes are passing us by

And I, I, I can't dream of a song
I hope I'm in a better state
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you , you can make the worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day
Unannounced like a thief in the night

So tell me how do you do? 
Finally I need you
You don't know what I been through
Well do you wonder about me?
I had dreams and premonitions 'bout you
And now I'm no paradise

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If you and I don't realize
That today is the right time
And morning, morning, morning will never be the same,
If we make the same mistakes
Time and time again
Time and time again

So tell me how do you do?
Finally I need you
You don't know what I been through
Well do wonder about me?
I had dreams and premonitions 'bout you
And now I'm no paradise

So tell me how do you do?
Finally I need you
You don't know what I been through
Well do wonder about me?
I had dreams and premonitions 'bout you
And now I'm no paradise

So tell me how do you do?
Finally I need you
You don't know what I been through
Well do wonder about me?
I had dreams and premonitions 'bout you
And now I'm no paradise

So tell me how do you do?
Finally I need you
You don't know what I been through
Well do wonder about me?
I had dreams and premonitions 'bout you
And now I'm no paradise
