Highlights

(album: Patterns In The Static - 2020)

When I'm alone with no words to say
Sometimes I sit and just watch the rain come down
I'm waiting by the window now
It's been awhile

I remember back when I was eight
So many hours in a single day I'd wait
Tapping on the fish tank
And watching them swim away

So what would it feel like
To be bored again
Waiting on a friend
With no distractions

We're not gonna get any younger
Let's slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It's not over yet
We'll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights

As I get older and the weeks fly by
I try to catch up but I blink my eyes
And now I'm 35
Forgetting what it's like
To watch the tide roll in from the ocean

So what would happen if we tried to make it stop
Watch the ticking of the clock
Move in slow motion

We're not gonna get any younger
Let's slow it down
Waste some time in the here and now
It's not over yet
We'll get older and realize
The little things we did to kill some time
Became the greatest highlights

It's never gonna stop now
So we gotta slow it down
Get off this merry-go-round
(Merry-go-round)
With some time to kill

It's never gonna stop now
So we gotta slow it down
Get off this merry-go-round
Every moment now
Is a highlight reel
