Like a mirror in motion
Like a river to the ocean
Like a strange forgotten notion
It keeps going
Like a bit more orbit
Would get me more of it
And keep the lanterns lit
For another showing
It moves so fast
And I can't move past
Why it doesn't last
Long enough to wait
For catching up
Let it be abrupt
Slow down just enough
So I can read the date
Yeah
With a path always winding
Through the corners I'm finding
And the steps I'm never minding
When did it become a race
With how much I'm given
God knows when I'll start livin
Or where I have been driven
While the minutes keep their pace
It moves so fast
And I can't move past
Why it doesn't last
Long enough to wait, yeah
For catching up
Let it be abrupt
Slow down just enough
So I can read the date
Yeah
My how it's flown
My how we've grown
I should have known
That it would move so fast
Cause I can't move past how
It doesn't last
Long enough to wait, yeah
For catching up
Let it be abrupt
Or slow down just enough
So I can read the date
Yeah, yeah
