Long in the Tooth

Time takes forever, the impossible truth
Getting long in the tooth
As I'm dried to my cell phone on a Saturday night
Soaking screen, shining light

And here, the neighbors are laughing, talking movies and rain
I think they're high on cocaine
I'm wondering where my friends are
Hope they're happy and fine
Drinking their 12 dollar wine
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

The road towards forever, kneel for the oncoming float
Wait for the sign that says go
And there's a time to remember
And a time to forget
To learn when is the trick

And I can count on my fingers
All my flickering thoughts
Basement lock in my door
Remember being a child, running wild and free
But it's me who's still me
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

And I shake hands with forever
Feeling salty and sweet
They say you are what you eat
And I speak soft when I'm tired
Still, the world's spinning slow
I hope it's right when I go
Ah-ah
