A Thousand Skins (Part 2)

Your fingers tapping on the table

My feet are bouncing on the floor

I haven't slept for 40 hours, and I will wait for 40 more

Until the last shot of the war

They say the waiting is the worst part

I only hope that that's the case

But I won't let a single instant or a moment or go to waste

To watch a memory erased

Hold on

Hold on

'Cause I don't have the time to wait

No, I don't want to be too late

Your face is burned into my memory

I've traced the lines so carefully

I've memorized the hills and valleys

And the freckles on your cheek

The way you smile in your sleep

You told me nothing lasts forever

But I won't let you fade away

As time begins it's slow destruction, the inescapable decay

The colors bleaching into grey

Hold on

Hold on

'Cause I don't have the time to wait

No, I don't want to be too late
