Hell, It Ain't a Story, It's a Song, But, Hey...., chapter 1
Run Forever (Nothing Lasts)
I wish I had an hourglass,
To reverse the sands of time,
And give you everything you want,
So you could hear this rhyme.
[CHORUS]
You've answered a long asked question,
Run forever away from depression,
If I had to run forever, it'd be cause nothing lasts.
You can't talk to me, and I know why,
It's cause you're far away,
Far away above me,
And I wish that you could stay.
[CHORUS]
You've answered a long asked question,
Run forever away from depression,
And if I had to run forever, it's because nothing lasts.
It's just a fork stuck in the road,
A way to measure life,
A way that I could bring you back,
I have a thousand spoons when all I need's a knife.
It's just so ironic how we pass away in time,
Live to see one hundred and then we all die.
[CHORUS]
You've answered a long asked question,
Run forever away from depression
If I had to run forever, it'd be because nothing lasts.
I wish that I could talk to you,
But you're in your grave,
Hit by a Chevy Cavrolet,
But you held on so brave,
It's just a fork stuck in the road,
A way to measure life,
A way that I could bring you back,
I have a thousand spoons when all I need's a knife.
It's just so ironic how we pass away in time,
Live to see one hundred and then we all die.
