The undertow has got me, looks like I could drown

Don't try to lift me up I'll drag you down, down down

Deep beneath the waves, driftin' with the tide

It's the only way to get to the other side

Time, time away (I think you could use a little) time, time away

Don't say I should try to ignore it (let's go try that new place down the street)

Don't say I just need to stay occupied (I have some food, let's sit down and eat)

I know I need to explore it (you look tired, try to get some sleep)

Can't pretend it's not there, you know I've tried (Why don't you try?)

Oh yes I've tried

Sometimes I go for days, maybe a week or two

Show the world a smile, don't leave any clues

Maybe with some time alone, a journey far away

I'll find a new place in the sun and see some brighter days

Time, time away. Time time away

Don't say I should try to ignore it.

Don't say I just need to stay occupied.

I know I need to explore it

Can't pretend it's not there, you know I've tried (why don't you try?)

Oh yes I've tried

Don't say I need a distraction (let me take you out to the movies)

Don't say it's just a passing phase (holidays are comin' up real soon)

I know it's more than a reaction (rest your head, it's been such a long day)

Questioning will always be my way (it's just a bad day); it's just my way.

Time, time away (I think we could use a little) time, time away
