I Won't Call Time

I didn’t know what to expect

Coming back after so long

Seeing how much things have changed

Made me feel like a prodigal son

I was set for a change or two

But I wasn’t ready for this

Did time stand still in my world

And race along in theirs?

What happened to us

Where did it go

Why do I feel bereft?

Am I meant to pretend

As if I never left?

Your feet might be firmly on the ground

But I won’t call time on fun

You’ve got this the wrong way around

I’m not giving up on young

I could have sworn that when I went

It would always be as it was

Now I wonder is this a test?

How could I get things so wrong?

All the dreams we had

All the plans we made

Are we really so naïve?

I’m so boxed in

I wanted to believe

Your feet might be firmly on the ground

But I won’t call time on fun

You’re all telling me you’re duty bound

I’m not giving up on young

It’s slipping away

Little by little

And it seems such a shame

So relentless so fickle

I’m left behind

Living in limbo

Now

So many times, I nearly came home

I get so confused when I’m left all alone

So many things I don’t understand

I thought I had this in the palm of my hand

These shifting sands

These shifting sands

These shifting sands

These shifting sands

At this time that’s all I know

Where’s your love child let it flow?

All I know is all I know

All I know is all I know

Your feet might be firmly on the ground

But I won’t call time on fun

I don’t care you chose safe and sound

I’m not giving up on young

I’m not giving up on young

I’m not giving up on young
