I'll Be The Past

There must have been a moment
 When your heart began to beat
 Maybe on a cloudy day
 Where one could sense the rain
 And someone standing nearby
 Might have lifted his head
 For a second stood there listening
 Never knowing why
 Perhaps there was a long line
 Of things that got too much
 Or some god-given countdown
 Just arrived at zero time
 Your glasses on the piano
 A drawing on the wall
 We went swimming on a sunny day
 Your ashes in the car
 Life is smaller now
 And bigger at the same time
 Time is endless now
 And obsolete, we're running still
 The sky is peaceful now
 But scary at the same time
 Man, I used to live forever
 Now I know it won't last
 I'll be the past
 Life is smaller now
 And bigger at the same time
 And time is friendly now
 But precious as the days run fast
 The sky is clearer now
 But scary at the same time
 Man, I used to live forever
 Now I know it won't last
 I'll be the past
 I'll be the past
 I'll be the past
