Bilingual
We tried to stop time but they couldn't wait
I tried to feel fine but I lay awake
Students looking for a rhyme
Turning, falling back through time
Callers waiting on the line, patient by design
Some people cross fast to the other side
Others just breeze past, smile with their eyes
Students looking for a rhyme
Turning, falling back through time
Callers waiting on the line, patient by design
I tried to stay awake
I tried to fall asleep
I tried to call my friends
I walked a couple miles
I sat down on the porch
I fell asleep again
Students looking for a rhyme
Turning, falling back through time
Callers waiting on the line, patient by design
