Message Man - Quicksand Lyrics

I think of you when I see my breath fill the air
Particles raid and invade the vacant space
The frost reminds me of another time and place
A distant feeling that I want to chase

So far it seems, like it's in my dreams or nightmares
I can see you hold me by the staircase
Even though I have trouble picturing that place
Some memories can't be replaced

I'm counting seconds, counting hours and I'm counting minutes
But at times, I think I have met my limits
While I'm proud we're both chasing our ambitions
It's difficult to accept today's conditions

Cause we're both growing old
And we're taking that time back
I see lost moments and memories
I look back on time with such jealousy
Cause we lost that time and we're still growing old
I'm sorry it might selfish, but that time is gold
I apologize and wait as time unfolds

Watch my breath fill the air in Ohio's cold
Time goes on, we're just growing old
I don't dictate how the Story's told
Just sit back and watch it unfold

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know, growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change

Think of me when you breath C-towns humidity
A place that's warmer, a place where I would like to be
A place of wonder and lush varidity
A healing component of it's therapeutic lucidity

I can't go to your shows and it kills me
You were always at my shows screaming
If I was there I'd be gleaming
But with 673 miles you know time is fleeting

I'm counting seconds, counting hours and I'm counting minutes
But at times, I think I have met my limits
While I'm proud we're both chasing our ambitions
It's difficult to accept today's conditions

Cause we're both growing old
And we're taking that time back
I see lost moments and memories
I look back on time with such jealousy
Cause we lost that time and we're still growing old
I'm sorry it might selfish, but that time is gold
I apologize and wait as time unfolds

Watch my breath fill the air in Ohio's cold
Time goes on, we're just growing old
I don't dictate how the Story's told
Just sit back and watch it unfold

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know, growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change

Remember the day you were stuck in the mud?
Running to mother, emotions poor and flood
The thought of a boot in the mud
Quick sand Taking my brother, my blood
How silly it seems, our childish schemes
Anything everything just to achieve our dreams
Those are the days that money can't buy
A priceless gift that time can't defy
The clock is ticking down
And I wonder how much time I have now
To hold onto you, to hear your laugh
To share in your trials, and victories in your path
To share in your pain, to share your tears
Please God, lift and take away my fears

Remember the day you were stuck in the mud?
I ran bare foot through a field of a thousand thorns
It hurt so bad, my flesh was torn
I got up and I swallowed my pain
Even though I cried the whole way
Nothing has changed
I'd do the same today

Please don't say you have to go away
We've gone through too much for you to stray
Don't leave me alone, don't break the glue
A mild that fits you to me, and me to you
Hold onto me, I'll hold you

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know, growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change

Time will pass and days will fade
I'm so afraid that things will change
You know growing old, it feels so strange
I'm so afraid that things will change
