lyrics
I guess time's a funny thing. Spend your days just waiting for another one.
And then it's gone and you've got nothing left to show for all the time you spent alone
Well I guess time's a scary thing. It brings two roads together and then, it separates
I guess time's an awful thing one day your deathbed's the future the next- the next they're cleaning the sheets
You say time comes and goes and I can't keep up with my life
The way things change, I just can't change with them
If the past exists only in my mind, then why is it the realest thing I've yet to find
This clock doesn't tell me the time it tells the time past since I left it all behind with that song I wrote:
"(I miss the road that took me home)
You said it felt like a home stretch after the nights that
It would snow
(I miss the nights that it would snow
I miss the cars that lined out street)
Headlights draw close and they turn off just like
the people we would meet
(I miss the people we would meet)"
I'll wait for better days
And then it's gone and you've got nothing left to show for all the time you spent alone
Well I guess time's a scary thing. It brings two roads together and then, it separates
I guess time's an awful thing one day your deathbed's the future the next- the next they're cleaning the sheets
You say time comes and goes and I can't keep up with my life
The way things change, I just can't change with them
If the past exists only in my mind, then why is it the realest thing I've yet to find
This clock doesn't tell me the time it tells the time past since I left it all behind with that song I wrote:
"(I miss the road that took me home)
You said it felt like a home stretch after the nights that
It would snow
(I miss the nights that it would snow
I miss the cars that lined out street)
Headlights draw close and they turn off just like
the people we would meet
(I miss the people we would meet)"
I'll wait for better days
