Bending Time

Lyrics

I never noticed, no, I guess I didn't care Until the spring had sprung And I was made aware That the year was speeding by Present day giving way to the past in front of my eyes Oh, I still can't comprehend that bend in time Tripped up, trapped again The jaws can snap down now and then with no cause We never expected to get so invested It's our fault, but we'll never confess it Crumbling days have helped remind me minds decay with no cause A few semesters have put things in scale They filled our heads with tall tales Each little lesson a little more depressing Post dramatic stress, you sure have kept us guessing What's the matter that's the most pressing? Post dramatic stress, you sure have kept us guessing Well I guess that tests and trials will have their way I thought that there could only be so many morals to obey Can you believe what was hidden up the sleeve Of the year that's speeding by? Present day giving way to the past in front of our eyes And I still can't comprehend that bend in time True, I'm tracing steps, they might lead back to where I leapt from safety Saved by a breeze, but I'm bruised just the same Wouldn't return if I could, it's too tame But each little lesson's a little more depressing Post dramatic stress you sure have kept us guessing So I'll guess my best, if it's really so pressing, I can guess what's next Precedent set as we cast our bets, I can guess what's next Tests and trials will have their way I thought that there could only be so many morals to obey Can you believe what was hidden up the sleeve Of the year that's speeding by? Present day giving way to the past in front of our eyes Oh, I still can't comprehend... It's speeding by, and it won't slow although I've tried And I would pat myself on the back if my hands weren't tied
