time to mend

[downdrift]

sad faces in the waiting room
avoiding glances
stealing looks at the floor
i wanna run to the door
i just want something more

he's in there breathing hardly
holding hands
shaking heads and hearts
i wanna run to the door
(not acting anymore)
this is not his real part

hey
they say
everybody
needs somebody
i just need anybody
cause it's hard to breathe
he's on his own
and it's quiet now
i could plead
my heart is bleeding
there's gonna be some pressure now
he's my need

oh i wish there was time to mend
i need the father you were meant to be
i wanna run to the door
you are my dad to me

hey
they say
everybody
needs somebody
i just need anybody
cause it's hard to breathe
he's on his own
and it's quiet now
i could plead
my heart is bleeding
there's gonna be some pressure now
he's my need

oh there's time to mend
you're the father you meant to be
(just a little late)
(but) i'll be alone around the bend
but now you're the dad i need

hey
they say
everybody
needs somebody
i just need anybody
cause it's hard to breathe
he's on his own
and it's quiet now
i could plead
my heart is bleeding
there's gonna be some pressure now
he's my need
he's my need
he's my need
he's my need
