You and J's been sitting by the roadside 
For far too long, in this little town 
Seems your plan of leaving left you both behind 
Your wings are strong, you're still on the ground 

Seconds, hours, minutes they all pass you by 
Above your heads, still an empty sky 
Shining shies or working mines, is not your favorite waste of time 
And never what you had in mind 
Gonna have to move on 
Or else your life will be gone 
Don't set your level too high 
Just lower the line of the sky 

You missed the bus that never had a stop in your town 
Seems it let you down, never came around 
No one you knew ever left this place alive 
Became husbands and wives, nomatter how they strived 

Seconds, hours, minutes they all pass you by 
Above your heads, still an empty sky 
Shining shies or working mines, is not your favorite waste of time 
And never what you had in mind 
Gonna have to move on 
Or else your life will be gone 
Don't set your level too high 
Just lower the line of the sky
