Lyrics
The who and the what are answered at birth,
The why is anyone's guess
The more that I wonder, the older I get,
And I keep remembering less
Time flies, what has it brought?
I measure the moment by the pleasure I've got
Times change until you lose track
Time flies when you're looking back
You turn into teens, you think that you feel
Emotions nobody shares
Experience grows, but so do the years
You find that nobody cares
Time flies, what has it brought?
I measure the moment by the pleasure I've got
Times change until you lose track
Time flies when you're looking back
Am I a puppet in a passing parade?
Or can I trace it to the choices I made?
I'm playing to win whatever the cost,
And it's cost plenty before
The image I have is never enough
I keep imagining more
Can't conceal the worry I feel
So why try wearing a mask?
Looking for answers God only knows,
But I keep forgetting to ask
Gets me right between the eyes
Time flies, what has it brought?
I measure the moment by the pleasure I've got
Times change until you lose track
Time flies when you're looking back
Am I a puppet in a passing parade?
Or can I trace it to the choices I made?
Time flies, what has it brought?
I measure the moment by the pleasure I've got
Times change until you lose track
Time flies when you're looking back
