Father Time

Tried so hard to not go back
Keep on covering my tracks
Try to find where it went wrong
Need more time before it's gone. Hold it close

Before it fades
When it's lost a choice is made
Turn the key the future's here
Shift into a higher gear

Running a race with father time
Summon the memories left behind

Chase it down within my grip
It's too fast I start to slip

Looking deep
Find my stride
Get myself off of this ride. On my feet

Standing tall
Cornered up against a wall. Father time
Take your swing
Always tied onto your string.

Running a race with father time
Summon the memories left behind

Every turn there's a vacant smile
It goes on and on for miles

Soon I hope to see the finish line
No escaping father time
Nowhere left to hide

Chase it down within my grip
It's too fast I start to slip

Looking deep
Find my stride
Get myself off of this ride. On my feet

Standing tall
Cornered up against a wall. Turn the key
The future's here
Shift into a higher gear

Running a race with father time
Summon the memories left behind
