The Thing About Time - Zach Berkman

For years I never saw the light of morning

Even when i woke up before noon

For years I never heeded any warning

Now I know how the future came so soon

And there’s a wealth of knowledge

Between the lines in the books we read

And the kids run off to college

And it happens so quick we can’t believe

That’s the thing about time

The days go slow but the years go fast

And then the future is the present then the present is the past

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time

With guarded words I’m walking towards tomorrow

I know I can’t leave bread crumbs on my path

Cause time cannot be borrowed begged or bartered

So I’ll do what I can with the days I have

And there’s a wealth of knowledge

Between the lines in the books we read

And the kids run off to college

And it happens so quick that we can’t believe

That’s the thing about time

The days go slow but the years go fast

And then the future is the present then the present is the past

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time

And you know what’s funny

Is when you’re playing with time you’re never playing with house money

Said you know what’s funny

Is when you’re playing with time you’re never playing with house money

And there’s a wealth of knowledge

Between the lines in the books we read

And the kids run off to college

And it happens so quick that we can’t believe

That’s the thing about time

The days go slow but the years go fast

And then the future is the present then the present is the past

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time

We all walk the same line that’s the thing about time
