I woke today before the sun
Lay in bed for an hour, or two
I wondered if you were the one
As I lay awake in our bed, next to you

Well, I can't stop time
Well, I try to define things for myself
We're only getting older
You know, you know

So I stop to ask why
As life passes me by
And I would hate to say
I told you so

'cause embarking on a future
And light that it casts
While every moment is waving hello
From the past

I watch the night time turn to dawn
The light changed colors on your face
Shadows move from short to long
As daytime slowly found its place

Well, I can't stop time
Well, I try to define things for myself
We're only getting older
You know, you know

So I stop to ask why
As life passes me by
And I would hate to say
I told you so

'cause embarking on a future
And light that it casts
While every moment is waving hello
From the past

Out the window of your car
You were singing "when the levee breaks"
And I put things aside
As we go for a ride

All the past seems like innocent mistakes
And all the past seems like innocent mistakes
