I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now
Hey now
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
The first thing I saw as I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said: "You might never know that I want you to know
What's written inside of your head."
And time as it stands won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as you fell from the sky I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?
I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now
Hey now
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
(Your standard, everyday guitar solo)
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now <--- 10 times
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
