Broken records warned that you would miss
The days you spent impatient to be older
But now you're here you see there's more at play than this
No longer always reaching for the future
You're still not used to looking backwards
Stuck hoping that this feeling's only fleeting
Either way that needle cuts its groove in you
You're spinning round, from now on it's repeating
Dogs ticking toward what's tied at stake
Never held for granted, but eaten away
A saddening love
Yet signal of
Your later days
It's not fading out
They're tearing up what's tied at stake
But it will be your lifetime till those memories fade
That lasting love
Still signal of
Your later days
Never fading out
Dredging memories up and off the sandy floor
You'll pass them onto others in torrential pours
So the burden of holding them is not just yours
Each one lost to the mud takes its potential
Some pieces slowly fall away
But you'll stay for all the later days
