Only If We Learn lyrics

Is it giving in?
Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin,
We can trace it back thought the years,
We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears,
But we are the ones to blame,

"Never again,"we cry,"
Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight,"
Pray to Got to put it to right,
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
Time after time,
As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass,
We find ourselfs committing the crime,
Time will be the end of us all,
Is life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
I guess we'll never know.

When they take the sun out from the sky will we complain that there's no light to she'd on what we've done to ourselfs?
I've got a reason to believe something can save us from our repieve,
But only if we learn from pages that we've turned,
Get ready to sink or swim we're dancing on land-mines treading water again,

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
Time after time,
As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass, we find ourselfs committing the crime,
Time will be the end of us all,
Is life we treasure poured out in equal measures? Equal measures?

Push it under the carpet,
Put it out from your sight,
Sweep itunder the carpet,
Pray that everything is alright,
Alright,
Alright,
Time never ends it carries on ticking away inside this time bomb,
Over and over again untill we're gone,
Time will be on our side,
Time will be on our side.
