Marking Time Lyrics

I can hear the sleep in your voice as you answer

All those miles and hours away

And I can't be there, so I love how you tell me

Every little part of your day

Like the tightrope walker lives for his time up on the wire

And the soldier truly knows he's alive when he's under fire

All other time becomes something that must be spent

The way I count the days until I'm in your arms again

Until then I'm...

Until then I'm…

Marking time

It's bittersweet when you love long distance

All alone and half alive 

But the love we have in the time we're together

Burns twice as hot and twice as bright

Like the tightrope walker lives for his time up on the wire

And the soldier truly knows he's alive when he's under fire

All other time becomes something that must be spent

The way I count the days until I'm in your arms again

Until then I'm...

Until then I'm…

Marking time

I don't wanna go, not just yet

I'll hang on just to hear your breath

Tell me one more time how we'll be

Together again someday

Like the tightrope walker lives for his time up on the wire

And the soldier truly knows he's alive when he's under fire

All other time becomes something that must be spent

The way I count the days until I'm in your arms again

Until then I'm...

Until then I'm…

Marking time 

Until then I'm...

Until then I'm…

Marking time
