Hey father, we need to make the most of this
While we still have the power to recall and to reminisce
About the tales that I've been told
Since I was barely even old enough
To understand how much they will be missed
You gave me all these memories
And now it's time for me to do the same
'86 in St Luke's
The day you brought me home
Of course I don't remember
But through the chambers of my brain the stories roam
Like portals back in time
Can we pause or please rewind
Oh can we pause or please rewind to back then
You gave me all these memories
And now it's time for me to do the same
Because I don't know how long we have to go
Until I'm just a face you used to know
But I'm glad you weren't there
When I broke down on the train
The alcohol was not to blame
But it made it easier to admit that I'm terrified
I'm scared right to my core of being nothing more than a face
Nothing more than a face you used to know
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
You gave me all these memories
And now it's time for me to do the same
Because I don't know how long we have to go
Until I'm just a face you used to know
Because I don't know how long we have to go
And I'm terrified of being just a face you used to know
