lyrics

As I'm folding up the corners of the evening
I make sure to never let fall any crumb
Of the joy or of the misery I'm holding
It's important
What's important?
Each single one

I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this
What prepares you for the things you think you've already missed?
The years are steady but every night I'm remiss
Once it's ending I just wish it'd start all over again

As I'm kneeling on the precipice of morning
Getting ready to plunge into another day
And the sun is slowly heating up its warning
It's not easy
What's not easy?
Living each day

I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this
What prepares you for the things you think you've already missed?
The years are steady but every night I'm remiss
Once it's ending I just wish it'd start all over again
