No Time Capsule

Faded storefronts and rusty locks
Hooked on the highway fence
Took a walk around the block
To try and make some sense
I know I'm getting older
I guess the city's older too
Sometimes I wish I could just go back
And relive last year's news

But there's no time capsule
Everything's bound to end
You can only retrace your steps
With the footprints that are left
There's no time capsule
Nothing stays the same
The place you fell in love with
Some day will forget your name

Caught the bus and crossed the river
The buildings lost their shine
Till right now I hadn't thought about
When it stopped being mine
All the awnings down the street
Are worn out or replaced
Who'd have known something this damn sweet
Could have a bitter aftertaste?

But there's no time capsule
Everything's bound to end
You can only retrace your steps
With the footprints that are left
There's no time capsule
Nothing stays the same
The place you fell in love with
Already forgot your name

But it's just bricks and stones
Now everyone's moved on
And taking it personal
Won't bring back a city that's gone

There's no time capsule
Everything's bound to end
And you can only retrace your steps
With the footprints that are left
There's no time capsule
Nothing stays the same
The place you fell in love with
It never knew your name

Faded storefronts and rusty locks
Hooked on the highway fence
