Half way through the year
And it's all become clear, all I've done
Is half-bake ideas
Seems time goes by
In the blink of an eye
When you're basing your life on your fears

And one day you'll wake up and realise
The best days of your life were ten years ago
You'll look at your life with your kids and your wife and think
"Is this all I have to show?"
But the things that will last are the things in your past
When you were coming into your own

Memories are all we get
And time's the only tool that we need

Not got much time
But what I've got it's mine
And it's mine to do as I please
No shame or guilt
If it's your time you've killed
By allowing yourself just to breathe

And one day you'll wake up and realise
The best days of your life were ten years ago
You'll lie in bed and you'll wish you were dead
Call in sick to work but you'll still go
And on the drive there and then sat in your chair
You'll be glad that you let yourself grow

Memories are all we get
And time's the only tool that we need

Nothing's the same and it won't be again, so
Why hold onto the past?
Put it in a frame or a box with your name on the side
So you know it'll last
Action Figures you don't play with these days
But it's nice just to know where they are
You'll think of them every now and again
And you'll think that you're getting there
When you have gotten so far

And one day you'll wake up and realise
The best days of your life were ten years ago
But you won't mind 'cos the years they've been kind
And there's so many more left to go
And places to see, and people to meet
Not to mention to love and to know

Memories are all we get
And time's the only tool that we
Memories are all we get
And time's the only tool that we
Memories are all we get
Time's the only tool that we need
