Everything is Temporary

Close
Close our eyes
We will close our eyes to see
The beauty in this (life)
Chaotic pageantry
Is this your curtain call?

As the Summer ends, we pretend
We'll still be here next year
As the colours fade, we contemplate
All the broken promises of Spring
Help me understand the concept of Grace
As the Seasons change, we contemplate
That this might be our last embrace

We can hold on to the past
But it's slipping through our hands
Everything is temporary
With the time that we have left
There's no time left to regret
Everything is temporary
That's the beauty in this

Life
Passes by
The sands of time can't be contained
There's no rewind
(As the last leaf falls)

Longing for greenery, we plant the seed
Of what will be next year
Never understand

A butterfly flaps it's wings
A thousand miles away there will be rain
In spite of all predictions
Shattering the hourglass to relive yesterday
Won't change a thing
We're bound by this affliction
Each breath is the addiction
When it's gone it's gone
And we go on and on
And on and on again

We can't hold on to the past
Cos it's slipping through our hands
Everything is temporary
With the time that we have left
There's no time left to regret
Everything is temporary
Cast our minds back to that toast
Former lives as future ghosts
Everything is temporary
That's the beauty in this
Life
