If I were young again, I'd pay attention - To that little-known dimension
A taste in endless time
Just like water - it runs right through our fingers
But the flavor of it lingers - Like a rich, red wine
In those days we were single - we lived them one by one -
Now we hardly see 'em - they don't walk - they run
But I got plenty left I've set my sight on
Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - soon
Short break
I've never seen my life in such a hurry - But if I start to worry - I get left behind
It's just a party, but you don't get invitations - and there's just one destination
You better be on time
For years of rhyming couplets - And we sang 'em two by two
Now we hardly rhyme at all - but here's a few
And if they heard there's bullets left to b*** on
Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - soon
Short break
That drummer in my head needs inspiration
There's a lack of syncopation - little holes need to align
It's just hard to leave these cages that we're stuck in
By stages we're just sinkin' - to a slow decline
For years we lived in waltzin' time - we danced them three by three
Now it's hard to dance, but if you stick with me -
We've got what we need to spend the night on -
Don't wait up - Leave the light on - I'll be - home - soon
Break
These races that we've run were not for glory - No moral to this story -
We run for peace of mind
But the race we're running now is never-ending - since s***e and time are bending
There's no finish line -
If I live to be a hundred - I was born in '44 - 36 to go, but I ain't keepin' score -
I been left for dead before - but I still fight on - Don't wait up - Leave the light on
I'll be home soon
I been left for dead before - but I still fight on - Don't wait up - Leave the light on
I'll be home soon
