Lyrics
Our Time Is Short
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We’ll make it down slowly, discover our hearts are dumb
There’s nothing that holy in loving like drunk kids love
And I’ve forgotten where I was
I see you in spotlights, in visions I’m saving now
Before we are parted by rivers of words somehow
I’m still besotted, but sobered up
So let’s drink, drink the best wine now
While we’re strong and we are proud
Until lightning strikes us down
And you’ll eat, eat 'til you are full
Cutting straight through all the bull
I will accept you, warts and all
It’s weird and unnerving, forsaking my old life now
'Cause this is a burden I can’t seem to do without
When time is rotten, we soldier on
I wanna be nearer, I wanna be close behind
A little bit clearer, a little bit hard to find
And I’ve forgotten who I was
So let’s drink, drink the best wine now
While we’re strong and we are proud
Until lightning strikes us down
And you’ll speak, speak ’til you are whole
What is clear is what is gold
You’re only human after all
Our time is short
Our time is short
Our time is short
Our time is short
