Father Time

I’m young
But I feel old
Soft skin
Is turning stone
It’s tough
Knowing there’s so much further to go

Caught between these parallels I know I see
Both sides of every coin that I am to receive

Well if I could find father time
I would try to get him drunk on wine
And stumble around
Maybe slow things down
If I could find father time
I would try to keep him off his flight
Stuck on the ground
Maybe slow things down

If I’d
Invested more
Maybe by now
Accolades would line every wall
And yet
Every word I’ve read
Says trophies
Never make good friends

Caught between these parallels I know I see
Both sides of every coin that I am to receive

Well if I could find father time
I would try to get him drunk on wine
And stumble around
Maybe slow things down
If I could find father time
I would try to keep him off his flight
Stuck on the ground
Maybe slow things down
