Lyrics :

(VERSE 01)
close your eyes
count to ten
take a breath
do it again
another thing to pass the time

you move your arm
you shift in space
awake to dream
asleep to pace
another thing to pass the time

(VERSE 02)
you walk alone
to the sea
you hear the voice
but cannot see 
it tells you ways to pass the time

imagine life
below the waves 
and wonder how
a man behaves
when all he can is pass the time

(CHORUS)
oh the world 
the world will go on without me,
this is certain sure.

if you come 
if you come to doubt in me,
i’ll leave and 
close the door

(VERSE 03)
all your plans
have come undone
a haunted heart
a loaded gun
will find a way to pass the time

and in your dreams
you're in the sea
beneath the waves
you finally see
all the ways to pass the time. 

(CHORUS)
oh the world 
the world will go on without me,
this is certain sure.

if you come 
if you come to doubt in me,
i’ll leave and 
close the door
