lyrics

It's been more than a year already
How the time flies by
I up and settled down, got married
You weren't by my side

I've looked for you on marching bands
The callouses upon my hands
Looking high, and looking low
Until there was no place left to go

Time has the awful habit of standing tall and still
Like a deer in headlights while a car comes down the hill
But when I need time most, that fickle friend will fly
It's exactly where I don't wish it to be - but somehow, I get by.

I still wake up with things to tell you
Thoughts tumbling 'round my brain
The funniest thing about it all, is
I love you just the same
