Even though you push on through
Gravity takes its toll on you
After a while
The clock ticks on without a care
You'll find that this game is not fair
After a while
Brand new shoes with rubber soles
Are gonna end up filled with holes
After a while
The things for which you beg and plead
Will bring you down onto your knees
After a while
There's no way to keep this going
We're moving just a little too fast
Better make the most of the present
'Cause it's soon to be your past
The breeze that comes in through the door
Will knock your things onto the floor
After a while
Nail the picture to the wall
'Cause if you tape it, it may fall
After a while
There's no way to keep this going
We're moving just a little too fast
Better make the most of the present
'Cause it's soon to be your past
When you listen to these words
You'll be happy with what you've heard
After a while
If you let it go after catching a glance
You'll know that you have missed your chance
After a while
