X - All the Time in the World Lyrics



X - All the Time in the World Lyrics




Hearts are breaking for hearts that are broken
So eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Or maybe next Tuesday
For those of us without a battle flag to fly
Though we are no less noble or brave
Because we can still wave goodbye
We have all the time in the world
Until the limitless possibilities
Of youthful infinity
Turn into mortality
But that's after a long, fun struggle
Of watching everyone
Not me and not you -
Suddenly go pale
Some failed to live up to life
Some trailed behind their own comet tails
Some wailed and cried out to God
To no avail
And some got impaled by speeding metal
And infected needles
But I'm here
And you're here
And why do we still care enough about
Or even too much
To make words
In the hope that someone in the future will hear
History is just one lost language after another,
After another
And when they're all taken together
We still can't decipher the past
Or decode the future
We're just lost without a map

We are dust
It's true
And to dust we shall return
Me and you
But it was fun while it lasted
All the time in the world
Turns out
Not to be that much
