[Verse] I blinked once the years were gone The street we ran on feels too long Your laughter's an echo I can't hold The photos fade but stay so bold [Prechorus] I heard the clock whisper "don't wait" Every tick stole something great [Chorus] Halfway home before I knew Time outran me and you Friends disappear like morning dew Kids grow fast They slip right through I’m standing still but life moves too [Verse 2] A chair is empty The room's too wide I talk to ghosts They don’t reply The mirror shows someone I don’t know The seasons change too quick to show [Prechorus] I tried to grab it but it flew The past escapes no matter what you do [Chorus] Halfway home before I knew Time outran me and you Friends disappear like morning dew Kids grow fast They slip right through I’m standing still but life moves too
