Late at night as I lay down to sleep
 I think of all the secrets people keep
 like how I feel for you
 Do you feel it too
 or is it something we have to resume

 We're just two people watching time fly by
 In a world in it's obvious decline
 But we are young and strong
 We can carry on 
 Find a little Paradise of our own

 'cos no one saves the day 
 it's no one else's fault 
 if you're a day late or dollar short

 Just think about how lovely life could be
 Excluding all the man-made misery
 If we're too far behind
 And really out of time
 Is there another world they plan to find?

 Too many dreams of youth
 That we never caught
 Just a day late or dollar short

 We're all just lonely people 
 Only dyin' to fall in love

 Feelings that we thought
 Dreams we never caught
 Just a day late or dollar short

 All the loneliness, the blues
 Feelings so distraught
 When you're a day late or a dollar short

 Too many dreams of youth 
 That we never caught
 Just a day late or a dollar short

 And no one saves the day
 It's no one else's fault 
 When you're a day late or a dollar short
