A lifetime would end
Around the time I said
Goodbye to my friends
And we´d never talk again

I didn´t know that back then
Oh my God
But wasn´t it obvious?

When I packed all my bags
I was never going back
And it would be for years
Until I saw my dad

I didn´t know that back then
Oh my God
Isn´t it obvious

That time runs faster than you can
You´ll look back on what you had
I´m just trying not to feel stuck
And I miss things I couldn´t keep
I just want to fall asleep
In the bedroom where I grew up

I clung on to my pride
And I built another life
But then she would die
Before I said goodbye

And I didn´t know that back then
Oh my god
But wasn´t it obvious?

And now sometimes when i close my eyes
I go ten years back in time

We´re still sitting there in your car
And I never found a better friend
These days everybody says
I look just like you when I laugh

So what if I came home
Just to visit maybe
That would have made a difference
I wanted to leave, I had to follow my dreams
Now I watch you get older on a telephone screen
I can´t seem to get that out of my mind
I get this awful feeling late at night
That she held on for one more day
In case I came home again

Now I sit here in disbelief
Changed by all the misery

Wishing somebody had told me
That time runs faster than you can
You´ll look back on what you had
Then one day you´ll wake up and be
