Time Lapse

Was I ever there

Did I ever leave

When I wake up here

Were you just a dream

Maybe photographs

Will jog my memory

While I write my lines

In the in between

Time lapse

Time lapse

As the seasons turn

With the hourglass

I threw my coins into the fountain

To promise my return for you

For now I’ll spend each day recounting

The moments I don’t want to lose

Traded in a room with a view

For a Vista of a fence

My father left my mother

And my world didn’t make sense

Tossed my cap from academia

While we couldn’t pay the rent

But I found a way to buy her ring

Though it cost me all I had

Cause there’s no substitute for love

You know you can’t deny me that

We tied the knot and set sail

On our greatest adventure yet

Into a time lapse

A time lapse

Time lapse

Time lapse

As the seasons turn

With the hourglass

I threw my coins into the fountain

To promise my return for you

For now I’ll spend each day recounting

The moments I don’t want to lose
