I saw him neatly fold his life away and stuff it next to his watch, In his front pocket, The room lost color, so I went downstairs... To the kitchen, red as a solo cup, Where a group of my friends had drank their lives away, I couldn't stay to watch them wipe what was left from their chins... So I sat outside (I love the green), And dreamt my life away in little puffs of smoke, That I sent home to the clouds.

Just a Matter of Time
I saw him neatly fold his life away and stuff it next to his watch, In his front pocket, The room lost color, so I went downstairs... To the kitchen, red as a solo cup, Where a group of my friends had drank their lives away, I couldn't stay to watch them wipe what was left from their chins... So I sat outside (I love the green), And dreamt my life away in little puffs of smoke, That I sent home to the clouds.
