lovers to enemies

from strangers to friends

then friends to lovers

and a fight breaks out

Now we’re mad at each other

What did we do so wrong

That can’t be resolved

bad blood stays silent

with mysteries unsolved. 

time stands still.

In my memories of way back when,

from time to time,

I remember what it’s like to be alive.

We ran together in circles and cycles. 

We forgot to count our days long

And our responsibilities short. 

Mutual agreements,

Events saved,

Plans kept,

Promises unbroken.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

Time stands still for no one.

And in my memories of way back when,

from time to time,

I remember what it’s like to be alive.

I ran in circles, in cycles.

I forgot to count my days long

and my responsibilities short. 

Bittersweet agreements,

Events made,

Plans swept,

Promises, misspoken. 

Time flies when you’re having fun.

Time stands still for no one.

And in my present, every now and again,

from time to time,

I think over what it’s like to be alive.

I run in circles and cycles.

I remember that my days are short.

and my responsibilities long. 

Dis-agreements, 

events caved,

plans inept,

some promises broken.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

Time stands still for no one.

Maybe in the future, from now until when,

from time to time,

I'll think over what it was like to be alive.

I'll run in circles and cycles

I'll remember that my days were short 

and my responsibilities were long.

Agreements?

Events?

Plans?

Promises?

I'm hopin'.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

Time stands still for no one.

And I am no one.
