Time plays its trick, it's deceit we learn too late
Gives too much when we're young, robs us when we're old
The years slip by, the future closes in
We're surprised when it's gone and wonder what we've done.
Chorus
Then one day, we wake and remember...
How we danced when we were young
How there was time to chase dreams
How we danced when we were young
How there was time...
There is no present, there is no future
Just the past happening over & over, again & again
Well that's what Eugene says, was he right that time isn't real
It's a virtual scaffold, an abstract we lose forever.
Dreams get forgotten by grown up reality
Like droids we tow the line, we said we'd never cross
Don't forget life's promise, don't retreat to conformity
Remember time is ourselves, reflected endlessly.
