[Verse 1] Time can take its toll on the best of us Look at you you're growing old so young Traffic lights blink at you in the evening Tilt your head and turn it to the sun Sometimes the T.V. is like a lover Singing softly as you fall asleep You wake up in the morning and it's still there Adding up the things you'll never be [Chorus] Alright, I can say what you want me to Alright, I can do all the things you do Alright, I'll make it all up for you I'm still in love with you I'm still in love with you [Verse 2] Time can take its toll on the best of us Look at you you're growing old so young Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
You tilt your head and turn it to the setting sun You disembark the latest flight from paradise You almost turn your ankle on the snow You fall back into where you started Make up words to songs you used to know So [Chorus] [Verse 3] The hard luck god You never had a chance you know Incurable romantics never do He held the flame I wasn't born to carry I'll leave the dying young stuff up to you You get back on the latest flight to paradise I found out, from a note taped to the door I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight Through my window, lying on the kitchen floor [Chorus] [x2]
