The tempo of this song is sixty BPM

One beat per second

A second is a duration of 9,992,631,770 cycles of the cesium-133 atom's unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition frequency

No, me neither

Today is a long weekend to a house mouse

A lifetime to a mayfly

A long lunch for the Greenland shark

A robin is sexually mature within a year

Within another, it's dead

A Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish is only the size of your fingernail

It can live forever

To kill or fill

It won't stand still

Don't wonder where it goes

You know I love the moon

You love the moon

We love the moon

Just look at her up there, glowing with hope and round as a clock

And so powerful, she can slow us down

But that's just how she looked 1.3 seconds ago

Her light takes time to reach us

We only ever see the past

It's always tough

There's not enough

And it won't wait for us

It's the softening of bones

It's the slow loss of color

It's the thinning of my skin

The blinding of my eyes

It's the rusting of my joints

It's the ringing in my ears

It's the shrinking of my muscle

It's the slowing and growing of my heart

Even the planet isn't punctual

1972 was two seconds longer than 1971

A hundred days later, I took my first breath

Twenty nine years after that, I met your mum

We only have this moment

And it's already gone

We only have this moment

And it's already gone (And it's already gone)

We only have this moment (We only have this moment)

And it's already gone (And it's already gone)

We only have this moment (We only have this moment)

And it's already
