Out of Sync
~~~~~~~~~~~
Out of sync, out of time
Missing meter, missing rhyme
I'm a prisoner, love's my crime
Won't you set me back in line?

Seems our chance slipped away
"Rotten timing," so you say.
I say no, it's not that way.
There's still time if you'll just stay.

Someday I'll realize
All my dreams with you and I
I will win that final prize
No more screwups, no more lies.

But I need help from you-
You say, "But what can I do?"
Wouldn't need you if I knew.
I'm so lost and so confused.

I don't know where I'm at
Somewhere I jumped off the track.
I hope I can make it back
Just before it all goes black...

Every time I always try
For the life that passed me by,
Every time it makes me cry
Seems it's all a vicious lie.

If you've got a hand to lend
If you really do intend
If you choose to condescend
Offer it before the end.

Don't get caught out of time
Without meter, without rhyme.
Don't get hurt by love's cruel crime.
Don't be called when out of line!

Fixing problems one by one
That's the way to get things done.
Trying to take on a ton
It's like spitting at the sun.

So I'll grab your proffered hand
But then I will take a stand.
I will make you understand
That I'm gonna be your man.
                
But give me concrete, give me steel.
Grasp a metal, know it's real.
That's the way it ought to feel,
Not like some old fairy tale.

Give me sync, give me time,
Add the meter, fix the rhymes,
Keep me sheltered from love's crimes,
Please replace me back in line!
