Time Isn't on My Side

Time isn't on my side

Any more than you

And that's the only thing here

That's halfway true

I can tell you what's wrong

With this picture

Taken from the angle where

I've centered myself

Waiting for the dusty shelf

To get wiped down

Practicing my lines

In a whispered shout

And now a bell will chime

To celebrate an expiration past its prime

Stretching out the time will be fine

Someone break it down, we'll be fine

Time isn't on my side

Any more than you

And that's the only thing here

That's halfway true

And now we'll give it a rest

Knowing that it's you who can say it best

Show me what you feel about your mess

Say fortunately I am impressed
