Objects in the mirror are nearer than they appear, now
We hold these things to be true
Been behind the wheel for many, many years now
I got a message for you
You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last
By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past
I met my lover blazin' in that California weather
Teens on the beach, we decided we would stay together
Our friends and family thought it was a travesty, but
They got accustomed to it over half a century
You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last
By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past
I rode my motorcycle home from campus at Sonoma
Some bastard ran me over, tried to leave me in a coma
I learned a lesson on that ambulance run...
Tomorrow's not a promise life will make to anyone
He drove away so fast - He left me limpin' in a cast
I wonder if he ever got free from the shitty Karma he amassed?
I couldn't help but notice we had started having children
So proud of how they have grown
We did our best to raise them, guess we managed not to kill them
Now they've got kids of their own
You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last
By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past
