[Verse 1] I'm half remembered, half way across the world Twice removed from a second home The shadow of a ghost in an old haunt With a lease on life because I can't afford to own When being young starts getting old A new place saves face or so I'm told Be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Hook] I'm just a moment so don't let me pa** you by We could be a story in the morning but we'll be a legend tonight I'm just a moment so don't let me pa** you by And they can speak our names in a dead language Because you and I, we're alive But just for a moment
[Verse 2] I'm twice the man that I thought I was yesterday Half the time, I'm a world away A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes On the face of a town that could not get me to stay And when the spark's gone, former lovers Just looking for a bus to throw me under I'll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Hook] Just for a moment When being young starts getting old A new place saves face or so I'm told I'll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Hook] Just for the moment Just for the moment
