Time Goes By
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.
I've wrote on this piano for years now
The first song was all about my dreams
And how I'd live when I was older
Have it figured out by seventeen
And now I'm nearly twenty-three
Time goes by so fast
And I can't find a way to make it last
See, all my friends are living life so well
Or from what I can tell, but who knows?
We all live in our own shadows
Been in the same old room for years now
These walls are all I've ever seen
When I would dream about my future
I'd draw a little house right by the sea
And now I'm nearly twenty-three
Time goes by so fast
And I can't find a way to make it last
See, all my friends are living life so well
Or from what I can tell, but who knows?
We all live in our own shadows
Oh, oh
Oh, oh (we all live in our own shadows)
Oh, oh (oh)
Oh (we all live in our own shadows)
Life goes by so fast
And I can't find a way to make it last
See, all my friends are living life so well
Or from what I can tell, but who knows?
We all live in our own shadows
