Late at night as i lay down to sleep
i think of all the secrets people keep
like how i feel for you
do you feel it too
or is it something we have to resume
We're just two people watching time fly by
in a world in its obvious decline
but we are young and strong
we can carry on
find a little paradise of our own
'cos no one saves the day
it's no one else's fault
if you're a day late or a dollar short
Just think about how lovely life could be
excluding all the man-made misery
if we're too far behind
and really out of time
is there another world they plan to find?
Too many dreams of youth
that we never caught
just a day late or a dollar short
We're all just lonely people
only dyin' to fall in love
Feelings that we thought
dreams we never caught
just a day late or a dollar short
The loneliness, the blues
feeling so distraught
when you're a day late or a dollar short
Too many dreams of youth
that we never caught
just a day late or a dollar short
And no one saves the day
it's no one else's fault
when you're a day late or a dollar short
