• The clock is ticking
    Precious time away
    And here is where we cannot stay
    Is there any way to stop it

    Autumn leaves turn
    Into blooming flowers
    Brought alive by April showers
    It's December again

    Memories flit past
    Our heavily shut eyes
    Repeating hurtful lies
    Remembering what we never said

    Hands once so small
    Grow so much bigger than before
    As new waves hit the shore
    A new size of shoes

    Straight sides indent
    Frame of mind matures
    As its others it lures
    And we aren't so young anymore

    One day far from now
    What hurts will make us smile
    And we won't have to wait awhile
    The storm will pass you'll see

    Old pictures of forgotten times
    Lay sprawled on the table
    Showing our dreams are not a fable
    We once were there and lived

    All our sown shut hearts
    Will reopen one day
    Showing us life isn't only just one way
    We will always keep changing course

    Sunday nights at dinner
    Will be halted in time
    When taken away isn't only what's mine
    And death rings the doorbell

    Answering the lonely door
    Love will wipe away our tears
    And we'll forget that after so many years
    Once there and now gone

    A promise that can never be kept
    A weak heart breaking with goodbye
    And thousands of miles away I'll fly
    Don't forget me

    The seasons change again
    And here isn't where I used to be
    These people weren't the ones close to me
    And time is still ticking away

    And one day we will die
    Leaving all of this behind
    But for now we'll live for ourselves to find
    Promise you won't ever change.
