Feeling like a stranger in my city and my skin
Nothing around here reminds me of anything
Evening's growing shorter and the swallows spread their wings
Dislocate me, bend me, shake me, make me fit back in
Make me fit back in
With the people at the party, and the monologues
Catching my breath behind the bathroom door
And I'm having drinks, and saying things, and laughing till I'm sore
No one around here knows me anymore
And another half moon shining half a light
Another day that came my way and passed me by
Swallowed by the night
Feeling like I'm lying, reciting my old lines
Life goes on and back to work, and thank you, I'm alright
I can't remember what I need, somebody read my mind
Crack me open, come pull up the blinds
And another half won't shine in half a light
I wish I could keep the days from passing by
Drift upstream, and travel back in time
Find your hand and hold it tight in mine
Moonset, sunrise, time doesn't heal
It just goes by, it just goes by
Sunset, moonrise, time doesn't heal
It just goes by, it just goes by
Tuck you in, magnolia skies
It just goes by, it just goes by
Medicine and weary eyes
It just goes by, it just goes by
And summer birds, and winter byes
It just goes by, it just goes by
Spring and fall, and bloom and die
It just goes by, it just goes by, it just goes by
