The Day And The Time

(feat. Gustavo Cerati)

Who's to say that we always have to agree

I think we can both can take this one mistake

Like some kind of amnesty

Why to love and with such brutality?

We're compatible

Maybe a bit too much

That's our ambiguity

I've cried a thousand storms

I've blown away the clouds

The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine

I'm reaching out

My heart is waiting

This is the day and the time

I wanna believe that we may still have a chance

We took a leap in the dark

And I can see now

How shadows have turned to light

Well, we know

How ephemeral are things

Disillusion takes what illusion gives

What's the use of make believe?

The needles of the clock

Are moving right to left

Pretend we never heard of things we said

Like we've been dead

And start all over

This is the day and the time

I wanna believe that we may still have a chance

We took a leap in the dark

And I can see now

How shadows have turned to light

Ah...

The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine

I'm missing out

Ah...

This is the day and the time

I wanna believe that we may still have a chance

We took a leap in the dark

And I can see now

How shadows have turned to light

Ahhh...

The time

Ahhh...

Oooh...

Ahhh...

Oh, oh

Oooooh...
