I thought I'd change the world
But the world changed me
Threw your ashes in the river
Watched them drift towards the sea
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
There's things I haven't done
That I always thought I would
Some things that I got wrong
Still turned out pretty good
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
We suffer with too much
We suffer with too little
All the sages and such
Say to aim for the middle
We're only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
