Lyrics

I sit on the porch, just watching the sun,
Going down behind the hills where as a child I use to run.
The grass ain’t as green as it was back then,
And the clock’s been spinning faster since I don’t know when.
 
Halfway gone, and I’m just waking up,
Truth is no treasure can fill your cup.
It’s the time you spend, not the things you own,
You don’t know it’s slipping ‘til you’re halfway gone.
 
I chased after dollars, thought they’d make me whole,
But that weight never lightened my soul.
A young man don’t see it, he’s blinded by the shine,
But the richest man alive can’t buy back time.
The mirror don’t lie, it tells you the cost,
Every wrinkle’s a story not everything is a loss.
Halfway gone, and I’m just waking up,
Truth is no treasure can fill your cup.
It’s the time you spend, not the things you own,
You don’t know it’s slipping ‘til you’re halfway gone.
 
So call your mama, take that trip,
Kiss the one you love with trembling lips.
Climb that mountain, dance in the rain,
‘Cause the seconds fall like drops down a windowpane.
Halfway gone, and I’m just waking up,
Truth is no treasure can fill your cup.
It’s the time you spend, not the things you own,
You don’t know it’s slipping ‘til you’re halfway gone.
You don’t know it’s slipping ‘til you’re halfway gone.
