When I Was Running Out of Time - Joseph Arthur

When I was running out of time

I turned it into a dream

And you went drifting into my mind

Things ain’t the way that they seem

I turn you into a dream

And make it all go away

You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way

You’ve got a painted face and a body made of clay

You are my super star

They will fill you with big ideas

They’ll hang your heart in the sky

I know you want to save the world

How long have you been that high

How long have you been that high

And did you make it all go away

You know your eyes look different when you look the other way

You’ve got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday

You are a shooting star

Things ain’t the same as when we was young

They hung us from shooting stars

Let’s tell the world we’re doing fine

I know how lucky we are

I know how lucky we are

To make it all go away

You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today

We got a million souls looking for a place to stay

Each one a shooting star
