A lifetime would end
Around the time I said
Goodbye to my friends
And we’d never talk again
I didn’t know that back then
Oh my God
Or wasn’t it obvious?
When I packed all my bags
I was never going back
And it wouldn’t be for years
Until I saw my dad
I didn’t know that back then
Oh my God
But isn’t it obvious?
That time runs faster than you can
You look back on what you had
I’m just trying not to feel stuck
And I miss things I couldn’t keep
I just want to fall asleep in the bedroom
Where I grew up
I cling on to my pride
And I build another life
But then she would die
Before I said goodbye
I didn’t know that back then
Oh my God
Or wasn’t it obvious?
You know sometimes when I close my eyes
I go 10 years back in time
We’re still sitting there in your car
And I never found a better friends
These day everybody says
I look just like you and when I laugh
So what if I came home just to visit
Maybe that would made a difference
I wanted to leave, I had to follow my dreams
Now I watch you get older on a telephone screen
I can’t seem to get that out of my mind
I get this awful feeling late at night
That she held on for one more day
In case I came home again
Now I sit here in disbelief
Changed by all the misery
Wishing somebody had told me
That time runs faster than you can
You look back at what you had
Then one day you’ll wake up and be
23
