Lyrics
As the race begins the people all take their places
Different sights and different sounds and different faces
People fill the stands and they leave no empty spaces
Time to toe the line
When the race is done, I get an honorable mention
Yeah, I know that's good, but it was not my intention
I have fallen victim once again to convention
better luck next time
No sense waiting for the snow
Just pack your bags and go with me
To a place where we can leave all this behind
And the night will be ours
With a thousand brilliant stars
And they won't ever fade with the sunrise
What is this, a cosmic joke? Do you see me laughing?
My one-track mind has blown a fuse and is now multi-tasking
It seems as if you took my heart without even asking
Hey, that wasn't nice!
This all happened too fast for me, I need a respite
I'll step outside to catch my breath and bask in the moonlight
I was dazed for just a moment, but I'll be alright
That's one way to break the ice!
No sense waiting for the snow
Just pack your bags and go with me
To a place where we can leave all this behind
And the night will be ours
With a thousand brilliant stars
And they won't ever bow to the sunrise
The second race begins, I think that I'll take my chances
It's just a cheap show for people en route to dances
I'm trying hard not to notice the cutting glances
From my opponent, Time
The gun goes off, the dust it flies in different directions
The gamblers and their bookies make last minute corrections
There is one thing I can gather from their inflections:
I'm not favored to win
No sense waiting for the snow
Just pack your bags and go with me
To a place where we can leave all this behind
And we'll stand, hand in hand
Looking over this dark land
And we won't have to wait for the sunrise
Why do we have to run from time,
Running a race we cannot win?
I'm sick of running out of time,
Waiting for endings to begin
Why can't the things you want stay right in place,
Instead of bowing out?
No sense waiting for the snow
Just pack your bags and go with me
To a place where we can leave all this behind
And the night will be ours
With a thousand brilliant stars
And they won't ever fade with the sunrise
Running quickly out of time
Running quickly out of time
No sense waiting for the snow
Just pack your bags and go with me
To a place where we can leave all this behind
And the night will be ours
With a thousand brilliant stars
And they won't ever fade with the sunrise
