Time's Shadows
Modest Mouse

Verse 1:
I feel the weight of time, it’s heavy like a stone,
Each day it drifts away, I swear I’m not alone,
The mirror shows the lines, where laughter used to soar,
And I can't help but wonder, what I'm really waiting for.

Chorus:
Oh, the years they fly, like pigeons in the sky,
With every fleeting grin, a piece of life drifts by,
Counting moments like the stars, too many to behold,
And I’m just a traveler in the stories I’ve been told.

Verse 2:
The echoes of my youth, they dance across my mind,
Like shadows on the pavement, where dreams were once aligned,
But with each passing day, I see the truth unfold,
That time’s a fickle friend, it’s both tender and it’s cold.

Chorus:
Oh, the years they fly, like pigeons in the sky,
With every fleeting grin, a piece of life drifts by,
Counting moments like the stars, too many to behold,
And I’m just a traveler in the stories I’ve been told.

Bridge:
So I wander through the memories, the laughter and the pain,
A collection of the moments, like a glasshouse in the rain,
Will I find what I’ve been searching for, in this endless race?
Or just shadows of the people and the dreams I can’t replace?

Chorus:
Oh, the years they fly, like pigeons in the sky,
With every fleeting grin, a piece of life drifts by,
Counting moments like the stars, too many to behold,
And I’m just a traveler in the stories I’ve been told.

Outro:
So here I will sit, as the sun begins to fade,
With memories in my pocket, the ones I never paid,
Time keeps on moving, but I’ll listen to its song,
And perhaps I’ll find some peace in where I’ve been so long.
