You feel the world is rushing by you

While you're waiting for someone to understand

You tend to see love as an island

Where hopes like words are written in the sand

When the only door sends you back

Nothing you live for, ever lasts



[Chorus:]

Every second's so slow, every hour's so low

You wanna put your arms around someone who doesn't wanna let you go

When the love you're in, baby just can't win,

It doesn't mean you're meant to alone

'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,

And your heart will know



You feel you're watching through a window,

I know what you want is just beyond your touch

Your heart flies any way the wind blows, while everybody else is finding love

You're one sweet thing, your light of day,

It was all you live for, turned away



[Chorus]



One day everything may change,

The sun will shine, the day will come to greet you

All the rain will blow away,

When at last you find someone who needs you, needs you, yeah

Gotta trust the things you feel, when you do,

You know your heart will guide you



Now you wait for the sun, and the morning to come

When you can put your arms around someone who's never gonna let you go

When the love you're in, baby just can't win,

It doesn't mean you're meant to alone

'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,

And your heart will know

The grass will grow, the river will flow

And your heart will know
