The Thing About Time
For years I never saw the light of morning
Even when i woke up before noon
For years I never heeded any warning
Now I know how the future came so soon
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
With guarded words I'm walking towards tomorrow
I know I can't leave bread crumbs on my path
Cause time cannot be borrowed begged or bartered
So I'll do what I can with the days I have
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick that we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
And you know what's funny
Is when you're playing with time you're never playing with house money
Said you know what's funny
Is when you're playing with time you're never playing with house money
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick that we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
Even when i woke up before noon
For years I never heeded any warning
Now I know how the future came so soon
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
With guarded words I'm walking towards tomorrow
I know I can't leave bread crumbs on my path
Cause time cannot be borrowed begged or bartered
So I'll do what I can with the days I have
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick that we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
And you know what's funny
Is when you're playing with time you're never playing with house money
Said you know what's funny
Is when you're playing with time you're never playing with house money
And there's a wealth of knowledge
Between the lines in the books we read
And the kids run off to college
And it happens so quick that we can't believe
That's the thing about time
The days go slow but the years go fast
And then the future is the present then the present is the past
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
We all walk the same line that's the thing about time
