[Verse 1]
You wouldn't know
But I think of you often
It's like a line I can't finish
Like I'm wishing for nothing
And it's been a long time
I still can't come up with something
Like I'm stuck in a head rush
I've got some time I can't manage
And I won't even try
[Verse 2]
Did you feel the sunset beaming on your way in?
Did you get your lover back and laugh about it in the end?
Did you feel the wonder?
Did you let go of your hurt?
Did you hear your daughters cry for you?
Love is when they think of you
[Verse 3]
You wouldn't know
But your presence is quiet
If I stay still, I can feel it
Like it's speaking in silence
And it's been a long night
Now I'm imprisoned to morning
I could do anything, it just seems too uncertain
So I won't even try
[Verse 4]
I stared up at the moon for a little while and wondered if maybe you were looking too
Well, maybe you were looking too
I thought about that night when you told me about your big plans
And all of the things you were gonna do
And I knew I believed in you
[Chorus]
My years keep slipping away, slipping away
One in the same
And all my years keep slipping away
Wrestling me, they got too much to take
[Post-Chorus]
It's been this way before, pulling out the thorns
They say that there's a reason for it but I don't know no more
I saw strangers passing by
I took their heartache all as mine
And I felt the rain coming down hard
Yeah, I heard your voice, too young to say goodbye
Too young to say goodbye
Too young to say goodbye
Too young to say goodbye
[Verse 5]
I stood on your front porch, talking to your brother
I don't see him much anymore
But things have changed since you've been gone
Maybe we learned the hard way or maybe it was a mistake
It doesn't matter either way
It's what I wanted anyway
[Chorus]
And all my years keep slipping away, slipping away
One in the same
And all my years keep slipping away
(I will tell you when I'm done, tell you when I'm done)
So I will tell you when I'm done
