If time is never on our side...

Does it have to start with a broken heart,
Broken dreams and bleeding parts?
We were young and world was clear,
But young ambition disappears.
I swore it would never come to this,
The average, the obvious.

I'm still discontented down here,
I'm still discontented.

If we've only got one try,
If we've only got one life,
If time was never on our side,
Then before I die,
I want to burn out bright.

A spark ignites
In time and space,
Limping through this human race,
You bite and claw your way back home,
But you're running the wrong way.

The future is a question mark
Of kerosene and electric sparks,
There's still fire in you yet,
Yeah there's still fire in you.

I won't run away.
