Lyrics:
Intro (0:00)

Verse 1 (0:15)
So it goes another lonely day,
Your saving time but you might as well wait,
Your flowers drowning in some bitter tea,
Your seeing lost opportunity
Find your mirror dont look inside,
See the talent you'll always hide,
Don't go kid yourself for not today,
Satisfactions not to far away

Chorus (0:45)
Hold on now your exits here, it's waiting just for you,
Don't pause too long its fading now, its ending all too
Sooooon, you'll see
Sooooon you'll see

Verse 2 (1:15)
Your Coffee's warm but your milk is sour,
Life is short but you had a flower,
Dream yourself along another day,
Never miss opportunity
Don't be scared of what you cannot see,
Your only fear is possibility,
Never wondered what the hell went wrong,
Your second chance may never come along

Chorus (1:46)
Hold on now your exits here, it's waiting just for you,
Don't pause too long its fading now, its ending all too
Sooooon, you'll see
Sooooon you'll see

Piano Solo (2:16)

Chorus (2:31)
Hold on now your exits here, it's waiting just for you,
Don't pause too long its fading now, its ending all too
Sooooon, you'll see
Sooooon you'll see
Sooooon, you'll see
Sooooon you'll see
Sooooon, you'll see
Sooooon you'll see

Enjoy

James from Handsome Alvin
