Time Shrinks

Young man mistaken

Comparing how he's shaping from his past

It's gone so fast

From kerosine and fear of queens

Our summertime identities don't last

No, they don't last

And as our time shrinks

I just want to keep you in this fine space

I like you from your hair ties to your shoelace

And if it takes just a little heartache, it'll be alright

And if it takes us a really long way, it's a scenic drive

'Cause if it's you who's down the line

Well, that's alright

Well, yesterday's unsolved and

Tomorrow's already crawling up my back

And I need a scratch

And it's terribly unfair to me

How all these miles don't leave me any tracks

Just a common rash

But as our time shrinks

I just want to keep you in this fine space

I need someone to quarterback this long race

And if it takes just a little heartache, it'll be alright

And if it takes us a really long way, it's a scenic drive

'Cause if it's you who's down the line

Well, that's alright

And if it takes just a little heartache, it'll be alright

And if it takes us a really long way, it's a scenic drive

'Cause if it's you who's down the line

Well, that's alright

Yeah, that's alright

Yeah, that's alright

Well, that's alright
