Story Behind The Song
This song was originally written as a quicker, faster-paced, up-beat tune until our producer suggested this record needed a "rock ballad." We slowed the tempo down, changed the lyrics slightly towards a more pressing, imminent decision on whether lover can happen or not between two different people.

Lyrics
Dirty window to my soul,
A place you'll never know,
A place that's so deep inside,
Where like a little boy, I hide
When I laugh, you cry
We're swimming against the tide
When I sing, you can't smile,
We're runnin' out of time
Sand is fallin' grain by grain,
Baby can't you see
Most people say it's all for one
You keep saying all for me
When I laugh, you cry
We're swimming against the tide
When I sing, you can't smile,
We're runnin' out of time
When I laugh, you cry
We're swimmin' against the tide
When I sing, you can't smile,
We're runnin' out of time
We're runnin' out of time
We're runnin' out of time
