No Time To Kill

I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something i can't do if i can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far i'll have to go 'til i'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind i've left enough to know that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbyegoodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none
I'm still bound to leave you, i surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now
I don't know where we'll go from here, there may be no way to fly
And the cloud i'm in just makes it all too clear that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

Repeat chorus

How can we be so far between where we are and one more try
And any way i look, i've only seen that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave
Father time still takes a toll on every minute that you save
Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days
The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill
No time to kill, even i've said it and probably always will
But i can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry i've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where i've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old
And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill

Repeat chorus twice
No time to kill
No time to kill
No time to kill

In a simple life dreams die hard
You never let let 'em go
All the while you play your hards
And you may never know
Why it's always lady luck
On someone elses' palm they read
You holding my two hands
Is really all I need
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try even
Barely gettin' by without you
Many things I've come to need
That I could do without
And many more I"ve done with out
I could come to need
The one thing that I'd fight to keep
Until my days are through
Is when I lay me down to sleep
I'm lyin' next to you
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Finding I've too many things I"ve missed
Barely gettin' by without you

Behind every good man stands a good woman
Though they might be looking a different way
While she's dealin' with one thing
I've got another thing comin'
If I'm lookin' at tomorrow, she'll be thinkin' 'bout yesterday
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own
Nobody could ever come between us
Or force our backs against the wall
Today we're tighter than I've ever seen us
Bending over backwards together, we could never fall
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own
Back to back we face each other
But I know we'll make it together on our own
