Edie Brickell and New Bohemians

Beat the Time

I notice me, I notice you

I see a lot of things

That neither of us do

I notice me, I notice you too

And there are simple things

That we don't even try anymore

There's a way out of this

There's a way out of this, [Incomprehensible]

Beat the time, beat the time

And every time I turn around

We got some clever way

To put each other down

And every time I turn away

I can't decide if I should go

Or should I stay with you

There's a way out of this

There's a way out of this, we got to

Beat the time, beat the time

We can't leave these problems behind

So close the door and open your m-m-mind

Close the door and open your m-m-mind
