I’ll never forget when we started out A beat of the drum a face in the crowd    It’s better this way it’s better this way How far we’ve come now not a soul can change Remember the road running under our feet We’d shoot for the stars but we’d aim at the trees It’s better this way it’s better this way Gambling with life it was our turn to play It’s time   Only when you look forward can you see behind?   We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride Every trial and every test We’d drive to the East and we’d fly to the West Just running away just running away We can be different ’cause they’re all the same Every night that we’d ever start In every beat of every heart Is running way just running away Catching our breath at the end we could say It’s time Only when you look forward can you see behind? Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime Holding on to the moment we let go alive We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride Day after day in the light We’re glowing in the dark Standing was the sketch Where falling wasn’t hard We lost ourselves to find   We’re somewhere down the line   It’s time Day after day in the light We’re glowing in the dark Standing was the sketch Where falling wasn’t hard We lost ourselves to find   We’re somewhere down the line   It’s time For some it’s a God for me it’s a fact We make a mistake and try taking one back It’s better this way it’s better this way Out of the grind and then into the grave It’s time Only when you look forward can you see behind? Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime Holding on to the moment we let go alive We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride
