A Thousand Skins (Part 2)

Your fingers tapping on the table
 My feet are bouncing on the floor
 I haven't slept for 40 hours, and I will wait for 40 more
 Until the last shot of the war
 They say the waiting is the worst part
 I only hope that that's the case
 But I won't let a single instant or a moment or go to waste
 To watch a memory erased
 Hold on
 Hold on
 'Cause I don't have the time to wait
 No, I don't want to be too late
 Your face is burned into my memory
 I've traced the lines so carefully
 I've memorized the hills and valleys
 And the freckles on your cheek
 The way you smile in your sleep
 You told me nothing lasts forever
 But I won't let you fade away
 As time begins it's slow destruction, the inescapable decay
 The colors bleaching into grey
 Hold on
 Hold on
 'Cause I don't have the time to wait
 No, I don't want to be too late
