about

This nerd rock song is about how time heals all wounds, but it takes forever.

lyrics

I know the reason that you're feeling this way
and I know everything that you've gone through
I know you're feeling like it won't go away
that the pain's here to stay, there's no hiding

I'd like to tell you you're wrong, but I can't
I'd like to say that it's easy, but it's not
There's only one thing that heals and that's time
and it takes forever to come and go

But you can't back down
you're caught in the middle and you
don't know how to get through all this sorrow
but you can't back down
there's always a tomorrow and it hurts less than today
No you can't back down
you're caught in the middle and you
don't know how to get through all this sorrow
but you can't back down
there's always a tomorrow and it's just one day away
You can never back down

The pain you're feeling will be less tomorrow
but it might be hard to notice
Just like the waves washing out the beach
it's a slow and steady process

You'd like your steps to be big, but they won't
You'd like to speed it along, but you can't
There's only one thing that heals and that's time
and it takes forever to come and go

But you can't back down
you're caught in the middle and you
don't know how to get through all this sorrow
but you can't back down
there's always a tomorrow and it hurts less than today
No you can't back down
you're caught in the middle and you
don't know how to get through all this sorrow
but you can't back down
there's always a tomorrow and it's just one day away
You can never back down
