By the Time
[Verse 1: Dave Grunewald]
We all have stories that we will never tell
From the bottom line fear is the heart of hell
I was down and out but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
You know my name but not my story
You know everything I've done
You know my name but not what I've been through
What I've been through
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
By the time you want me to be
To be in your life to be in your life again
(Someday you will know)
By the time you will understand that
I will be gone that I will be gone again
[Verse 2: Dave Grunewald]
Life is too awesome to waste your time away
Someday this pain will make sense to you
I was down and out but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
[Breakdown: Dave Grunewald]
You want me to be in your life again
But I'll be with someone else
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
By the time you want me
To be in your life to be in your life again
(Someday you will know)
By the time you will understand that
I will be gone I will be gone again
[Post-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
By the time you want me to be
(You want me to be)
By the time you will understand I will be gone I will be gone again
[Outro: Dave Grunewald]
By the time you want me to be in your life again
By the time you want me to be in your life again
