Time

verse1

Wind blows through the grass, look at the time go by
It's almost enough to make a grown man cry
Waves splash the lakeside shore, fish swim by a million times
Remember when life only cost ten dimes.

chorus

Time goes by without a warning
Close your eyes and it’s already morning
Try to find time to live your life
Then you already see your best friend’s wife.

verse2

You see your time is comin’ soon
Comin’ in the night just like a raccoon
Remember the days you were in school
Lookin’ back to see you were a fool.

bridge

Thinking life would take it slow, given ya time
Then you can’t find a reason or rhyme
You don’t know where all the years went to
When you realize that it’s all a taboo.

verse3

Catfish swim by as you stare on down
Wondering why you left this town
Sun goes down ev’ry single day
Makes you want to sit and pray.

chorus

Frogs croak louder than you want to hear
Clock tickin’ fast is your biggest fear
Think of all the rides to the old schoolyard
Memories like this are what make it hard.

verse4

Flowers grow by the roadside, standing tall
Fifty years later you’re on the wall
Picturing you with your first girlfriend
Did you really think it would never end?

bridge

Can’t help starin’ at the ceiling
Wondering how to shake this feeling
Friends come, and friends will go
At least you got to stay and enjoy the show.

verse5

Why does it all have to end, leavin’ you alone
Asking “How much longer could the sun have shone?”
Snow sparkles on the ground nearby
Makin’ you want to give it one last try.

chorus

Pictures always show, just you and me
Such happy faces, full of glee
Sunday you’d go and play ball
Countin’ how many times you won it all.

verse6

Unfinished stories inside the tent
Now you wonder where it all went
Where are ya now, what have ya got
I don’t know but you sure lost a lot.

verse7

Sittin’ there, trying to shake the dust away
Maybe you can make the most of today
Think about old pals, make some new friends
Ev’ry time it never truly ends.

chorus

Lose some loved ones, heal some broken hearts
One day you’ll be here again studying the arts
Go out, have fun
We ain’t got much time left here in the sun.

verse8

Chase your dreams, alone or with your friends
That ain’t how the story ends
Think about the good times and have a laugh
Look through the photographs.

bridge

It’s all sad, but it’s alright
New memories will come in the middle of the night
Time is a burden, and a happiness
The world has enough of its own nastiness.

verse9

Where the time will go
You may never know
Lookin’ up, remembering the good times
Other people have to pay for their crimes.

chorus

You may lose an hour or two
But the day belongs to you
Make the most, make the way
Day by day.
