I thought i knew
how long a year can last
guess it depends
on how much you're living
eat from nostalgia's plate
then complain about your weight
the past is romanticized
wasted days are rationalized
do you think that there's a fellow
watching up above the sky
are you ready for the moment
when you finally shut your eyes
look how we grew
where did the time all go to
guess it depends
if time exists at all
or do we go through space
a scratch on the planet's face
an unfinished page of rhyme
clanging windchimes
do you think that there's a fellow
watching up above the sky
are you ready for the moment
when you finally shut your eyes
and will they cry in the end
out of fear for themselves
or laugh at the things you did
back in the day
do the days we misspend
play back in our brains
while new grass above the ground
absorbs all the rain
