lyrics:
I started from the beginning
But I knew it all along
I heard it all before
But never settled to listen along
To the song of every siren's last call
played-out in the mother tongue
There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place

If I fell in love I held it back
Until it spoke for itself, and shouted back
I had to build a building
To house its longings
Its ceiling was to block out the sun
Now I'm sitting in the shade and it's getting cold
There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place

You didn't think to tell me
You saw the meaning face to face
We could have drawn it out
By simply tracing straight
But who can keep track of all these faces laughing
Mixing jokes with distractions,
A pile of masks extracting
There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place

There's a time for curves
And twisted branches pursed -
Like lips last night inviting,
Tomorrow's heartbreak binding -
The straight and narrow can bring
The slant and winding plane
Of a crowded mezzanine
Holding up an encore that feeds itself
There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place

I don't know what to do with myself
Clearly I've been forgetting
That faith I put up on that shelf
I could barely reach for my notebook
Never-mind write you with grace & humility
There was nothing left but mistook apologies
and throw-away analogies
There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place

If lonely is the way to Heaven
Then call me only
I promise to never answer back
There is no easy way
The path is long and backwards
But still I started from the beginning
Though I knew it all along
I heard it all before
But never settled to listen along
to the song of every siren's last call
played-out in the mother tongue

There is a time for everything,
But order hasn't found its place
