No Time Capsule

Faded storefronts and rusty locks Hooked on the highway fence Took a walk around the block To try and make some sense I know I'm getting older I guess the city's older too Sometimes I wish I could just go back And relive last year's news But there's no time capsule Everything's bound to end You can only retrace your steps With the footprints that are left There's no time capsule Nothing stays the same The place you fell in love with Some day will forget your name Caught the bus and crossed the river The buildings lost their shine Till right now I hadn't thought about When it stopped being mine All the awnings down the street Are worn out or replaced Who'd have known something this damn sweet Could have a bitter aftertaste? But there's no time capsule Everything's bound to end You can only retrace your steps With the footprints that are left There's no time capsule Nothing stays the same The place you fell in love with Already forgot your name But it's just bricks and stones Now everyone's moved on And taking it personal Won't bring back a city that's gone There's no time capsule Everything's bound to end And you can only retrace your steps With the footprints that are left There's no time capsule Nothing stays the same The place you fell in love with It never knew your name Faded storefronts and rusty locks Hooked on the highway fence
