You live your life like you're immortal but you haven't thought this through
If you were gonna die tomorrow you'd figure out what you should do
And the time goes on forever so you waste just a little more
And you find all of a sudden that you're headed for the door
Can you feel the time bomb ticking, can you feel the sand slipping out
Does your memory hold all the gold and your future all the doubts
But it takes forever living like that to see
Before you figure out that you haven't got forever to be somebody, somebody
You're a time altered photograph, I love the way you're painted
Time altered photograph, I love the way you've faded
The way you catch the light, somehow it's just right for me
Fix your eyes on the sky, we haven't changed all that much inside
Strip away the damage time has wrought and were still fine
But it takes forever living like fantasy
Before you figure out that you haven't got forever to be somebody
