Chasing Time

When I was little my mama told me "Son don't you grow up" Whenever I needed her she would show up and All I ever did was go outside and chase fireflies But I'm older now and I'm chasing time It's funny how when we were young all we did was wait to get older Now that we grew up we look over our shoulder We got to where we thought our destiny had been waiting for us It's not as great as we hoped it was (Time) Why did we throw away our childhood? Yeah it just hit me that those years are gone for good I miss the simpler life When mama told me she loved me every night Why do we fight when we're broken? (Time) Why do we spend our whole lives chasing time? (Time) The clock is ticking on by We always feel like we're running out of time (Time) Suddenly I'm in high school now and Every single day I'm feeling down What's happening, what happened to me? I guess I made a big mistake and Now I'm losing everything I thought I had Life isn't going as I planned (Time) Why did I take it all for granted? When did the path of my life become so slanted? Well now I'm down on the floor and crying what is there left to live for? Why do we fight when we're broken? (Time) Why do we spend our whole lives chasing time? (Time) The clock is ticking on by We always feel like we're running out of time (Time) It's funny how we're always living In the future or the past But not the present, why is it always last? I've grown old I found a job I have wife and I have a family I should be happy but my life is boring (Time) Why cant I live a different life? Why did I have to go cheat on my dear wife? Well now she wants a divorce and my own children don't love me anymore Why do we fight when we're broken? (Time) Why do we spend our whole lives chasing time? (Time) The clock is ticking on by We always feel like we're running out of time (Time) (Time, time) Here I am I'm burned out and old I'm stuck in this here stupid old retirement home With nothing to do and nowhere to go but there's So many things I haven't done Time was a gift from God but there's not enough I guess that I had used it all (Time) I'm out of time I'm next in line God is ready to take me back now I'll be nothing but a photograph I have no friends no family Everyone I ever loved has died on me Will anyone remember me? (Time) Why did I let it fly right past me? Why did I never move out of this city? God id do anything for one more year but my time is here God id do anything for one more year but my time is here Why did I fight when I was broken? (Time) Why did I spend my whole life chasing time? (Time, I'm out of time) The clock ticks one final time For me and I truly have run out of time (Time) God id do anything for one more year oh but my time is here My time is here, my time has come...
