Time Goes By (So Slowly)

lyrics

TIME GOES BY SO SLOWLY

it's best to count the blessings in life when your parents have left for the day
walk around naked, from the fridge to the living; freedom is an easy game to play
sit down in the garden and think of the future, and while the sun is burning your skin
you decide that your life is more than worth living when you ignore the troubles you're in

and time goes by so slowly

it's best to believe in a higher power, when you fail to believe in yourself
you burn the cake and drink all the beer on the day your daughter turns twelve
you hide in the basement with your train collection, and your wife is banging the door
you try to remember the first time you noticed that you don't love her no more

and time goes by so slowly

i think it's best to believe in happiness when you're lying in your bed
thinking of the life that you will have with the person you just shagged
we come from the cradle and we go to the grave and there's nothing in between
except for the trains in the basement and summer teenage dreams

and time goes so by slowly
