Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm half remembered, half way across the world Twice removed from a second home The shadow of a ghost in an old haunt With a lease on life 'cause I can't afford to own When being young starts getting old A new place saves face or so I'm told Be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Chorus] I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by We could be a story in the morning but we'll be a legend tonight I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by And they can speak our names in a dead language 'Cause you and I, we're alive But just for a moment [Verse 2] I'm twice the man that I thought I was yesterday Half the time, I'm a world away A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes On the face of a town that could not get me to stay And when the spark's gone, former lovers Just looking for a bus to throw me under I'll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Chorus] I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by We could be a story in the morning but we'll be a legend tonight I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by And they can speak our names in a dead language 'Cause you and I, we're alive But just for a moment Just for a moment [Bridge] When being young starts getting old A new place saves face or so I'm told I'll be the new kid on an old block A chalk outline on a playground blacktop [Chorus] I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by We could be a story in the morning but a legend tonight I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by And they can speak our names in a dead language 'Cause you and I, we're alive But just for a moment (you lose) Just for the moment (no, you lied) Just for a moment
