I remember the snow for time so long ago
I stacked in piles that went four miles in the air
I climbed right up to the top, the tallest kid on the block
Did the piles get smaller? Did I get taller?
Did everything just shrink away?
I can't remember the change, but everything was rearranged
Every day there's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet, I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and gray and every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar, just dustier and blurrier
So suddenly a stranger shakes my hand
The one-way arrow of time, you can choose to ignore the sign
But you don't get to do the driving, or know when you're arriving there
The seconds, minutes and days, won't pass with a gentle pace
But suddenly stack up, watching as we rack up the changes that we never see
But we are never the same
Don't blink your eyes or you might miss it
Every day there's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet, I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and gray and every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar, just dustier and blurrier
So suddenly a stranger shakes my hand
You can't chase the breeze, cause you're never gonna catch
You can't stop the seas, when the waves come crashing
Can't hold your dreams, when the sunlight fills the room
When you're asleep, when you're awake
Come on, every breath you take, invisible but slowly multiply
Whistling
Every day there's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet, I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and gray and every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar, just dustier and blurrier
So suddenly a stranger shakes my hand
