No I'm not sayin I'm lazy, I just, take more time to

And of more than three ways I empty my days, now that 
you're not around to impress.

They don't do things by thirds.

And your voice sounds just like it's reading, from a 
birthday telegram.
It says you're looking a little older, I say that's 
funny because I am.
Last year escaped by the window, and this year's going 
for a song.
And the church bells they're plagiarizing, merrily we 
roll along.

No we weren't together forever, but then what the hell 
          G

One persons lifetime the history of mankind, or the 
years since I turned seventeen?

Yeah I was light headed unfettered not falsely, claimed
 to know the dimensions of love.
I was prone to wild exaggeration, sayin things I had no
 concept of.
Maybe love takes the form of a mountain, with no choice
 but forever to linger.
Or maybe love lives in a soap bubble, at the mercy of a
 childs finger.

But each one comes with a little rainbow, designed to 
hypnotize us.
And I wouldn't trade one heart-broken minute, for a 
years worth of dull happiness.

So I built myself another lifetime, oh how quick did 
the calendar grow?
And right now I'm seven years wiser, than I was 
twenty-five years ago.

I stop to play with this cat on the footpath, and he's

with his paw.
And I know that you're gone so I'm moving on, still I 
know that you're worth mourning for.
And I'm feeling just fine but I'm taking my time, cause
 I know that you're worth mourning for.
