when i was a boy i knew that i had no time to waste. if i wanted joy, i had to race way up up my hill, i can't help it still.
try not to feel so bad. remember all i've got remember all i've had. and somedays time goes slow. but even slow time's got to pass.
soon i saw the eyes of other people blinking, bright, and wide. i wanted to greet them, but when i tried, everything felt wrong i'd fix it with a song.
and then it's not so bad. remember all we've got, remember all we've had. and some nights time goes slow. but even slow time's got to pass.
cause there might come a sound, seeping out my heart like sun through clouds. it's the only way that I know how, to feel the way i should, i'd die then if i could.
