Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day<br />
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way<br />
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town<br />
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way<br />
<br />
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain<br />
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today<br />
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you<br />
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun<br />
<br />
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking<br />
Racing around to come up behind you again<br />
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older<br />
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
