I remember the snow
From times so long ago
All stacked in piles, that went up for miles in the air

I'd climb right up to the top
The tallest kid on the block
Did the piles get smaller, did I get taller
Did everything just shrink away

I can't remember the change
But everything has rearranged

Every day
There's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet
I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and grey

And every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar
Just dustier and blurrier
Till suddenly a stranger shakes my hand

The one-way arrow of time
You can choose to ignore the sign
But you don't get to do the driving, or know when you're arriving there

The seconds, minutes and days
They pass with a gentle pace
But suddenly stack up
Watchin' as we rack up
The changes that we never see

But we are never the same
Don't blink your eyes or you might miss it

Every day
There's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet
I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and grey

And every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar
Just dustier and blurrier
Till suddenly a stranger shakes my hand

You can't chase the breeze cuz you're never gonna catch it
Can't stop the seas, when the waves come crashing
Can't hold your dreams when the sunlight fills the room

When you're asleep, when you're awake
The sum of every breath you take
Invisible, but slowly multiplied

Every day
There's something that goes away
It's leaking like a faucet
I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and grey

And every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar
Just dustier and blurrier
Till suddenly a stranger shakes my hand
