[Verse 1]
Once upon a time I was three
The future was a toybox filled with dreams
Watched fairies dance until I fell asleep
Oh, and my world was whatever I wanted it to be
Oh, back when, when I was three

[Verse 2]
Suddenly, I was sixteen
Found myself to the left of the passenger seat
A wide open road and no training wheels on my feet
I realized there's so much that I have yet to see
Oh, and now I used to be sixteen

[Chorus]
Time
It's got a one track mind and a tendency to fly
Don't wanna get ahead but you sure as hell don't wanna be left behind
Not when it comes to time

[Verse 3]
One day I'll be 33
With a house and a couple more mouths to feed
I'll sing their innocent hearts to sleep
And teach them everything gets closer when you reach
Oh, pretty soon I'll be 33
[Chorus]
Time
It's got a one track mind and a tendency to fly
Don't wanna get ahead but you sure as hell don't wanna be left behind
Not when it comes to time

[Bridge]
We're all just filling pages in our storybooks
Hoping when the last one comes we're not too scared to look

[Chorus]
'Cause time
It's got a one track mind and a tendency to fly
Don't trust it with your life
But still enjoy the ride
When it comes to time
We've only got one time
