Life slips by,and I'm losing time
I feel left out, and I need a sign
My folks tell me that I'm in my prime
But I've been too long on the border line
I look around at the other guys
to see myself
looking through their eyes
but the truth ain't there,
just a pack of lies
and each wasted word,
makes a wasted line
I left myself behind
the years have not been kind
to anyone but you,
so tell me that's not true
I left myself behind
I over-stepped the line
I blame it all on you,
the only thing to do
I slipped every time
I thought that I should try
to think of something else
but the years go rolling by
Fought our souls, watch the ship capsize
a mighty force brought down to size
and she can't escape the resounding cry
and the feeling that you're next in line
So breathe real deep and take your time
unlock yourself from your own very mind
because the curtain drops each time I try
to make your way across the bottom line
I left myself behind
the years have not been kind to anyone but you,
so tell me that's not true
I left myself behind
I over-stepped the line
I blame it all on you,
the only thing to do
I slipped every time
I thought that I should try
to think of something else
but the years go rolling by
