All of these things are all gone now; they all just slipped away somehow
Only so much time will allow; and all of these things are all gone now
Stamps and mail the postman brings; waiting in line for anything
Grabbing a book from up off the shelf and reading it and thinking for yourself
All of the things that you expected and most of the ones you once respected
All of these things are all gone now; they all just slipped away somehow
Only so much time will allow; and all of these things are all gone now
A ceiling crumbing from up above in a broken-down shack that's full of love
Echoes and ghosts in old hometowns; everything you need to keep you down
Asking a girl out on a date who won't get triggered and litigate
Payphones and Myspace and a big ol' "Russian collusion" case
All of the things that you expected and most of the ones you once respected
All of these things are all gone now; they all just slipped away somehow
Only so much time will allow; and all of these things are all gone now
