Once upon a time I was three
The future was a toy box filled with dreams
Watched fairies dance until I fell asleep
Oh my world was whatever I wanted it to be
Oh back when, when I was three
Suddenly I was 16
Found myself to the left of the passenger seat
A wide open road and no training wheels on my feet
I realize there’s so much that I have yet to see
Oh and now I used to be 16
Time
It’s got a one track mind
And a tendency to fly
Don’t wanna get ahead
But you sure as hell don’t wanna be left behind
Not when it comes to time
One day I’ll be 33
With a house and a couple more mouths to feed
I’ll sing their innocent hearts to sleep
And teach them everything gets closer when you reach
Oh pretty soon I’ll be 33
Time
It’s got a one track mind
And a tendency to fly
Don’t wanna get ahead
But you sure as hell don’t wanna be left behind
Not when it comes to time
We’re all just filling pages in our story books
Hoping when the last one comes
We’re not too scared to look
‘Cause time
It’s got a one track mind
And a tendency to fly
Don’t trust it with your life
But still enjoy the ride
When it comes to time
We’ve only got one time
