lyrics

Could you pass me the bottle and pass me a glass
So we can make a toast to the fact that all things must pass
Now that the moment has come for the two of us at last
Could you spare a minute to sing along with one last track
It's hard to give up a treasure once the X has been found
So let's just hang on to more time than we've been allowed
Try to stretch out the now 'til we collapse passed out
Just let me wake in the morning in the arms of an empty couch

Because you know it's so hard to say goodbye
Trying to survive the ravages of time
But I'll make sure to keep you in my mind
Until the day you walk back into my life

I could spend all my time wishing for just one rewind
But that train of thought is such a cliche line
And it's not like we'll never share another rhyme
So I'll save you this match next time you need a light
'Cause this door we all walk through swings both ways
So you won't find me wasting time counting down the days
Because it's not like my feet are cemented in place
And I know I can always try to shorten the range

Because you know it's so hard to say goodbye
Trying to survive the ravages of time
But I'll make sure to keep you in my mind
Until the day you walk back into my life

You'll find time is a wild river that always flows true
You can divert it but you can't keep it from rushing through
It'll run its own course no matter what you try to do
But don't let that futility discourage you
'Cause time not only flows but it does something more
Sometimes it comes along in the form of a revolving door
One big wheel that brings us all back to where we were before
So I'll watch for your ship to sail back to this shore

So while it's so hard to say goodbye
Trying to survive the ravages of time
I'll still make sure to keep you in my mind
Until the day you walk back into my life
Because you know it's so hard to say goodbye
Trying to survive the ravages of time
But I'll make sure to keep you in my mind
This revolving door'll bring you back on the rewind
So I'll do my best to survive the ravages of time
Until the day you walk back into my life
