one thing i don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain the due time
all i know, time was just slipping way
and i watched it count down till the end of the day
watched it watch me and the words that i say
the echo of the clock rhythm in my face
i know that i didn't look down below
and i watched the time go right out the window
trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
i wasted it all on my hands on the clock
but in the end no matter what i pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when i tried so hard
