lyrics
Time brought me here
And time takes away all that’s dear
Black caravan furrowing lines
Can’t slash the tires and take back what’s mine
Know it will happen, can’t run away
Knowing can’t take hold, force it stay
Strangle the moment, slipping through days
Barreling seasons come as they may
Everyone feels everyone knows
Knowing can’t stop the show
Great things will happen
When time’s at its best
After the moment’s passed
Knowing that all recast
Ageless in beauty, only time tells
Homes become houses and then sad motels
Gripping to feelings, thoughts, and desires
And everything happens between telephone wires
Shedding of minutes
And mileage inscribed with
Wasted time
And moments that I’ve
Brought myself thoughtless into
Got, lived, and gave up what’s mine
Each passing look back
Americas I’ve known
Time growing out, what has it been
Looking back down and jumping back in
Freefalling good times in drunk parking lots
Filled up with laughter and spilling of thoughts
Wish I knew then what I wish I knew now
And that the knowing could change it somehow
Nobody cares, everyone grows
What does it matter, nobody knows
Time brought me here
And times takes away all that’s clear
Finding and breathing in new forming facts
Blinded with change and wants to go back
Watched through the window, climbed up the stairs
Broke through the glass, more than could bear
Some bite their pain, some seal it up
Some do their searching in bottoms of cups
Shedding of minutes
And mileage inscribed with
Wasted time
And moments that I’ve
Brought myself thoughtless into
Got, lived, and gave up what’s mine
Things come together
And things fall apart
Public and private, cities and domes
Round kitchen table and everyone’s grown
Now that it’s over, it’s already gone
Full Sunday mornings and mowings of lawn
Lasting without and living inside
No wasted moments but God knows I’ve tried
