"Given The Time" Cary Pierce From the Album "You Are Here" I was making the scene I'd see in a random rock & roll magazine Cigarette conversations Sitting all by myself I was looking at someone Looking at someone Staring at someone Thinking he saw somebody But it was somebody else [Pre-Chorus] But I'd rather be with my wife and family Where my neighbors almost always treat me kind If I would give myself the chance To find out who I am I might turn out to be someone I'd like Given the Time I was thinking that all this drinking And all this pretending The vibes you're sending Can't help but end in A low rent apartment for two It's not as if you're not lovely The lights shine bright on Sunset Boulevard But we both know that in the morning The florescent lights will make everything hard [Pre-Chorus] Given the time Given the time
