I thought I had life in the palm of my hand but you took it from me   Now it seems my days of careless ways in fact are turning on me   Because what seems right, feels right, ends up the most fragile of things   Now I'm spending my days in a permanent haze   Because what you stole, you took from me      Let's take the time to contemplate what we are faced   A fragile life in which design resolves being erased   And if you win some, lose some   You end up in the same old place   So understand the task at hand is to live and to forgive      Let's start some living   Let's stop decaying   We can't afford to waste away   Let's start some living   Let's stop decaying      If I'd have known time could stop on a dime and cause you to cease   I'd quit running so fast and I'd try to get a grasp on the things surrounding me   But what feels right, seems right, ends up the most prominent thing   Now I'm spending my days in a permanent haze   Because what you stole, you took from me
