I confused a sense of purpose With grabbing the future by the throat While the museum of my memories Was just some blurry photographs
When I was younger I was serious Now everything's a joke But my friends detect a sadness At the end of every laugh
Which has left me with a tricky sense of humor And I keep getting further led astray Every punchline takes on another dimension When you realize that the time flies either way
But at the height of this confusion That's when your eyes met mine I caught a small chance at salvation Staring right at me
I saw my boyhood reach conclusion I saw a life spent at your side I saw the permanent replacement Of all the You's and I's to We
Finding out that all my proudest moments Would be spent trying to put a smile on your face And I'm lettin' that fact answer all of my questions Cause I know now that the time flies either way I know now that the time flies either way
