We think we are young We think we have time The world is our oyster Seems to be our rhyme But what are we to do When time makes us a fool It speeds up when we laugh It slows down when we cry
Yes what happens when love dies And time slows down almost to a halt And you can barely breathe Yet time sits still-- it cares not
Yes what happens when you smile And time ticks by with such style And grace that we never even remember a face But we remember the magic Yes we remember the magic of the moment and the blurs and quickened heartbeats Yet not the faces Not the places
Oh we think we are young And we think we have time But really we have nothing But our songs and our rhymes
