Some sign of forgiveness 
Some form of release
Is all that she asks for 
Is all that she needs 
She waits for the day when 
She feels more at ease 
Some time to be careful 
Some time left in peace 

Cold stars of the future 
Burn bright in the past 
These moments of solace
They won't last 
They don't last 

You're wasting the moment 
Biding your time 
No one got ahead 
Standing in line 
So something is over 
Before it's begun 
So close you can taste it 
But now it is gone 

Cold stars of the future 
Burn bright in the past 
These moments of solace 
They don't last 
They cannot last 

You're hoping for solace
Well, just look around
Everyone here is 
Standing in line
