There must have been a moment
When your heart began to beat
Maybe on a cloudy day
Where one could sense the rain

And someone standing nearby
Might have lifted his head
For a second stood there listening
Never knowing why

Perhaps there was a long line
Of things that got too much
Or some god-given countdown
Just arrived at zero time

Your glasses on the piano
A drawing on the wall
We went swimming on a sunny day
Your ashes in the car

Life is smaller now
And bigger at the same time
Time is endless now
And obsolete, we're running still

The sky is peaceful now
But scary at the same time
Man, I used to live forever
Now I know it won't last
I'll be the past

Life is smaller now
And bigger at the same time
And time is friendly now
But precious as the days run fast

The sky is clearer now
But scary at the same time
Man, I used to live forever
Now I know it won't last

I'll be the past
I'll be the past

I'll be the past
