Life slips by and I'm losing time I feel left out and I need a sign My folks tell me that I'm in my prime But I've been too long on the borderline I look around at the other guys To see myself looking through their eyes But the truth ain't there, just a pack of lies And each wasted word makes a wasted line I left myself behind, the years have not been kind To anyone but you, don't tell me that's not true I left myself behind, I overstepped the line I blame it all on you, the only thing to do I slipped up every time, I thought that I should try To think of something else but the year's gone rolling by Four lost souls, watch their ship capsize A mighty voice growing up asides And you can't escape the resounding cry And the feeling that you're next in line So breathe in deep and take your time Unlock yourself from your own very mind Because the curtain drops each time you try To make your way across the bottom line I left myself behind, the years have not been kind To anyone but you, don't tell me that's not true I left myself behind, I overstepped the line I blame it all on you, the only thing to do I slipped up every time, I thought that I should try To think of something else but the year's gone rolling by
