Lyrics
Miss my dad
Miss who I was when I still had him
Miss a world that has him too
This life wears us out like shoes.
Oh
Miss my room
The dirty magazines and cartoons
Miss having something just for me.
Miss the peace of my deceits.
Oh
Time is time and that’s ok
Stays a while and drifts away
No one wants to live forever anyway
Anyway
Life is lived in conversations
Inside jokes and subway stations
Mind the gap and find a way.
Oh
Missed my chance
Lost my invite to the dance.
Now I’m standing here in pants.
Empty cup and idle hands.
Oh.
Time is time and that’s ok
Stays a while and drifts away
No one wants to live forever anyway
Anyway.
Life is lived in situations
Veiled contempt and expectations
Mind the gaps and find your way.
