Tim Hicks | Talk To Time Lyrics

I was on a beach somewhere

Ice cream running down my hand

I was on my daddy's shoulders

When he was still Superman

Mama with a birthday cake

Blowing out her 29

Back when she had more years ahead of her

Than she had behind

If I could talk to time

I'd say, "Why you always flying?"

You say you're on my side

But you ain't no friend of mine

You don't do second chances

You don't like looking back

I blame it all on you

But it's me who's losing track

Wish I could put you in a bottle

Wish I could hold you in my hand

Wish you would just slow down, slow down

But you don't give a damn

Drinking in a parking lot

God, we thought that we were cool

Back when we believed that home was something

We could always come back to

Then it was graduation day

We were on a football field

We were begging you to just speed up

Why couldn't you have just stood still?

If I could talk to time

I'd say, "Why you always flying?"

You say you're on my side

But you ain't no friend of mine

You don't do second chances

You don't like looking back

I blame it all on you

But it's me who's losing track

Wish I could put you in a bottle

Wish I could hold you in my hand

Wish you would just slow down, slow down

But you don't give a damn

She was every perfect kiss

She was everything I loved

But you just couldn't help yourself

You had to go run out on us

If I could talk to time

I'd say, "Why you always flying?"

You say you're on my side

But you ain't no friend of mine

You don't do second chances

You don't like looking back

I could blame it all on you

But it's me who's losing track

Wish I could put you in a bottle

Wish I could hold you in my hand

Wish you would just slow down, slow down

But you don't give a damn

No, you don't give a damn
