I took, one look, in your eyes tonight
And I saw, it all there in a different light
Just when I thought I was out of the rain
Suddenly I'm in a hurricane
And all around me voices in the windSay again, what I know I know
It's time, it's time, to learn about letting go
Why does it feel like I just exist
Stuck out here on the precipice?They say the future's out of our hands
So why is it making demands?If I have to make up my mind
Maybe now is the time to decide
Every minute makes it harder on me
Why must it be now or never?I knew a man, I held his hand
When I was just a child
He showed me his dreams
I watched him let 'em dieIf I could stand again by his side
I'd tell him that love is why we're alive
That's what I tell the world I believe
So why can't I listen to me?If I have to make up my mind
Maybe now is the time to decide
Every minute makes it harder on me
Why must it be now or never?Welcome to sunrise in paradise
The light of the dawn, is burning my eyes
And that's just where I want it to beIf I have to make up my mind
Maybe now is the time to decide
Every minute makes it harder on me
Why must it be now or never?If I finally get to make up my mind
Girl then now is the time to decide
Somebody tell me why I do this to me
Why must it be now or never?
