Before Noon Lyrics

I know that I have seen this place before

A scene like trouble knocking at my door

Words unspoken that I can't ignore

There's no telling what we're headed for

Chilled to the bone

Feet turned to stone

I can't get there on my own

Weighed all thoughts, but think not twice

Packed a suitcase loaded with my vice

Wish I'd taken my old man's advice

Better pack lightly when you're on thin ice

Chilled to the bone

Sunk like a stone

I can't swim it on my own

If this is what it takes

To make my own mistakes

Charge it to the room

Wake up, and check out before noon

Now I'm rolling with the tide

Things couldn't go my way, no matter how I tried

Just trying to reach the other side

At least I'm swimming now, not sinking with my pride

Drenched to the bone

Thrown like a stone

But I'll get up on my own

If this is what it takes

To make my own mistakes

Charge it to the room

Wake up, and check out before noon

Here comes that old familiar call

It rings around the room and bounces off my wall

Time makes the best of us all

Hearts will open just before the fall

Chilled to the bone

Set like a stone

I should have known

The bird has flown

An empty throne

For you alone

The path is shown

We all get there on our own

If this is what it takes

To make my own mistakes

Charge it to the room

Wake up, and check out before noon
