The time flies by when you're having fun they say
And it drags when I'm in dismay
what to do?
keep watch?
Leave?The hands moving slower and slower
Faster and faster you try to think
You don't know what to do
Zone out
Be youTime needs to be spared
Time cannot be repaired
Time is now
Time is then
Time is beforeWe need to watch what we want
Not them
Not me
Not technology
Watch yourselfLive life in the now
Live life for how it's meant
Live life for you
Live life for adventure
Live life don't waste itAlways keep watch
The hands are ticking
You've only got your life
Not anybody else
Enjoy it till death
