Outlines
I'm half remembered, half way across the worldTwice removed from a second homeThe shadow of a ghost in an old hauntWith a lease on life 'cause I can't afford to ownWhen being young starts getting oldA new place saves face or so I’m toldBe the new kid on an old blockA chalk outline on a playground blacktop
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you byWe could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonightI’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you byAnd they can speak our names in a dead language'Cause you and I, we’re aliveBut just for a moment
I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterdayHalf the time, I’m a world awayA flicker of a soul casting silhouettesOn the face of a town that could not get me to stayAnd when the spark’s gone, former loversJust looking for a bus to throw me underI’ll be the new kid on an old blockA chalk outline on a playground blacktop
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you byWe could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonightI’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you byAnd they can speak our names in a dead language'Cause you and I, we’re aliveBut just for a momentJust for a moment
When being young starts getting oldA new place saves face or so I’m toldI’ll be the new kid on an old blockA chalk outline on a playground blacktop
