Feels like yesterday
I was living at my parents' house
I blinked and things changed
Fast forward and I was moving out
I can only exist in three dimensions at a time
Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right?
It's like we've been dancing in the dark
A great big expansion from a spark
Over in a moment
Finished in a flash
Slipping through my fingers
Life's an hourglass
Shattered on the floor (oh)
It'll never be the way it was before (no)
Feels like yesterday
I was falling in love
Then came the heartbreak
Like it always does
Nobody escapes it
Time's a losing game
Might as well embrace it
till it flies away
I know that nobody can stay forever young
I wish I could just take a break from growing up
It's like we've been dancing in the dark
A great big expansion from a spark
Over in a moment
Finished in a flash
Slipping through my fingers
Life's an hourglass
Shattered on the floor (oh)
It'll never be the way it was before
The way it was before
Over in a moment
Finished in a flash
Slipping through my fingers
Moving way too fast
Wish I had just a little more (oh)
It'll never be the way it was before
