Time Flies

Verse 1

Cracked watch face, I trace the line

Yesterday's time, a memory, one more stain

Lost keys on the windowsill, old shoes at the door

One gray dawn, then another, then another, then another

Dust spins slowly around my feet

I hear my name but I never speak

One day, then the next

One word, then silence

Chorus

Time flies, never looking back

All that I held slips through the cracks

Time flies, I try to hold it in my hands

But time flies and it leaves me behind

Verse 2

Empty frame on the mantel, corners curled and torn

Coffee's cold, I watch the steam disappear again

Same sun sets, same paper fades edge to edge

Running ‘round the same old ring, I let it go, let it go

Shadows grow longer down my street

Bitterness bites, sweet turns sour

Three steps forward, four regrets

Two words kept

Chorus

Time flies, never looking back

All that I held slips through the cracks

Time flies, I try to hold it in my hands

But time flies and it leaves me behind

Bridge

I watch it go, I watch it go, I watch it go

Pictures peel, voices fade, friends go far away

All the chances I chased, all the things left unsaid

Night after night after night

Chorus

Time flies, never looking back

All that I held slips through the cracks

Time flies, I try to hold it in my hands

But time flies and it leaves me behind

Outro

Leaves me behind

Leaves me behind

Time flies

Leaves me behind
