[Verse 1] You always know just when your time is up A train will whistle and a shoe will drop I am the great remainder I stay the same forever You left home early you were all dressed up No need to say it baby, "don't wait up" I am the great remainder I stay the same forever [Chorus] We could talk for hours and dream away our past But now we live our lives and time goes by so fast We're slipping through the cracks I can't get you back If only you could see that the gra** is never greener [Verse 2] I could tell that you had had enough You saw right through me and you called my bluff I am the great remainder I stay the same forever "You'll get over me", I heard you say As the bus it slowly drove away I am the great remainder I stay the same forever [Chorus] We could talk for hours and dream away our past But now we live our lives and time goes by so fast We're slipping through the cracks I can't get you back If only you could see that the gra** is never greener [Bridge] I won't give up on you Like you gave up on me I am the great remainder I stay the same forever
