| Time is just a measurement
|
| My friends and I are testament to that
|
| Fall back, into collective clarity intact
|
| To blur the line between what we think and what we know
|
| Young and so reckless
|
| Can’t take the hours passing so slow
|
| Before we spin out of control
|
| We will overindulge
|
| Before we’re jaded and old
|
| We will squander our innocence
|
| And we will overcome the cold
|
| So take care my friend
|
| (Don't fray the wires, they may not mend)
|
| We take this for granted until all of this ends
|
| (There's more to this, than what we’ve got penned)
|
| The common life, it calls but we won’t answer it
|
| 'Cause we never look so far, we never think too far ahead
|
| 'Cause I’m not ready to hang up my youth
|
| It was never preordained for me to grow into a suit
|
| By and by, my friends and I
|
| Sing sydney city blues until aurora’s rise
|
| Where will I be when my late twenties catch up on me?
|
| So take care my friend
|
| (Don't fray the wires, they may not mend)
|
| We take this for granted until all of this ends
|
| (There's more to this, than what we’ve got penned)
|
| The common life, it calls but we won’t answer it
|
| 'Cause we never look so far, we never think too far ahead
|
| Do you believe that we could be truly
|
| Free of our fears as long as we’re running?
|
| Or will we have to come to terms with this?
|
| With the fact that this could one day turn out purposeless
|
| Do you believe that we could be truly
|
| Forever young as long as we’re smiling
|
| Time was always just a measurement
|
| So ingest inequity for we are testament
|
| So take care my friend
|
| (Don't fray the wires, they may not mend)
|
| We take this for granted until all of this ends
|
| The common life, it calls but we won’t answer it
|
| 'Cause we never look so far, we never think too far ahead |
