[Verse 1] There's an old coat by the doorway I can't bring myself to move Still smells a little like somebody I thought I'd have more time to lose Some things don't end with a goodbye They just slowly disappear A voice you hear a little less Till you can't remember how it sounded in your ear [Verse 2] I used to think I had the time To say the things I meant Tomorrow was a place I knew I just hadn't gotten there yet Now the house is getting quiet And the kids ain't around as much Funny how you spend a lifetime Just trying to build enough [Chorus] And time don't stop When you're breaking Don't slow down When you're scared It just keeps on taking Whatever's there You can run You can hide You can burn your whole life Trying to get somewhere But when you look back The miles don't matter It's who was there [Verse 3] I've watched people hold on too long To things already gone I've watched people walk away Before they knew what they'd lost We get so good at making plans We forget the day we're in Keep waiting on a better life While this one's wearing thin And somewhere down the line You'd give anything you own For one more ordinary evening With someone who isn't home [Chorus] And time don't stop When you're breaking Don't slow down When you're scared It just keeps on taking Whatever's there You can run You can hide You can burn your whole life Trying to get somewhere But when you look back The miles don't matter It's who was there [Finale Verse and Outro] I've spent years watching stars From the window of a ship Thinking there'd always be another night To make the most of it But every jump leaves something behind Every road changes home And you don't know you're on the last page Till there's nowhere left to go And someday we'll look back At all these little days And wonder why we thought We had so many.
