Lost In Time

I was trying to laugh,
But kept on choking on the tears,
As I looked up my life,
And started to count the years.

I guess I've wasted a few,
Because nobody told me,
That time passes so fast,
just not when there's no one to hold me.

I believed a clock on the wall,
That said that I was still young,
I believed the race of life...
You're so far ahead you needn't run.

But now I noticed that the sun is fading,
Times broken and cascading,
Like a fountain of youth,
That twisted the truth,
Like last years' calendar on the wall.

So I grin and let the tears run,
As I question myself,
Oh, what have I done?

I was so naive,
That's the way time can deceive,
Because you've promised yourself that ypu're still young,
But inside your starting to age,
An your promise yourself that you'll try now,
To find yourself through the maze.

Somehow you didn't notice,
The turns that you were taking,
And now you look around and find
That you're lost in time,
Running behind,
That you cannot really catch up,
But you're trying so hard,
To get back what you had,
But you're still just lost in time.

...So laugh at the tears that you're choking on, laugh at the way the clock ticks,
Laugh at the way that the wind blows,
As the years flow away in bits.
