Watching the ice melt between us   Just faster than grass grows   Itís not the best that weíve seen us   But nothing else I'd have chose      Reminds me of a time   When anything could have come   Anything could have happened   What a fantastic feeling       Time is precious as you say it is   I wanna know that we didn't miss   It goes by quickly youíll soon find out   I wonít go down   Time is precious as you say it is   I wanna know that we didnít miss   It goes by quickly youíll soon find out      When you fight to resist   Emotion with a fist   An irresistible force will always   Prevail      The fortress goes crumbling down   Around you where you stand   What was once strong mortar   Is now a pile of sand      Time is just as precious as you say it is   I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss   I've dodged so many bullets that Iím careful now   I wonít go down   Time is just as precious as you say it is   I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss   I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now   From reckless to recluse   And sometimes back again   Left wondering what's the use   Of a life of mischief spent      Makes cool the desert sun   The piece of mind that you gave me   Absolve me for things I've done   Only that can save me      Time is just as precious as you say it is   I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss   I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now   I won't go down      Time is just as precious as you say it is   I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss   I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
