[Verse 1]
You always know just when your time is up
A train will whistle and a shoe will drop

I am the great remainder
I stay the same forever

You left home early you were all dressed up
No need to say it baby, "don't wait up"

I am the great remainder
I stay the same forever

[Chorus]
We could talk for hours and dream away our past
But now we live our lives and time goes by so fast
We're slipping through the cracks
I can't get you back
If only you could see that the grass is never greener

[Verse 2]
I could tell that you had had enough
You saw right through me and you called my bluff

I am the great remainder
I stay the same forever

"You'll get over me", I heard you say
As the bus it slowly drove away

I am the great remainder
I stay the same forever

[Chorus]
We could talk for hours and dream away our past
But now we live our lives and time goes by so fast
We're slipping through the cracks
I can't get you back
If only you could see that the grass is never greener

[Bridge]
I won't give up on you
Like you gave up on me

I am the great remainder
I stay the same forever
