As Time Moves On

Once in a while, you'll see me break a smile
But then, as time moves on, it tips back over
Everybody said I'd better watch my head
'Cos that is what they say when you get taller

But I grew up making noise, and I grew up by myself
And then I thought I might lose my devotion
Cos my head was in my hands
And my heart was in my head
And love was not a second hand emotion

Well you know, I work so hard and it always makes me sick
I'd rather sit outside and do some dreaming
And you know I move so slowly
'Cos there's so many places to go
But I'd rather move like this than start believing

Once in a while, I'll run a hundred miles
And then as time moves on you'll see me walking
Everybody said, I'd better make my bed
Cos that is what they say when they are talking

Do do-do do, do-do do-do do
Do-do do-do do, do-do do do
Do do-do do, do-do do-do do
Do-do do-do do, do-do do do

And you know I work so hard, and it always makes me sick
I'd rather sit outside and do some dreaming
And you know I move so slowly
'Cos there's so many places to go
And I'd rather move like this than start believing

Once in a while, you'll see me break a smile
But then as time moves on you'll see me walking
Everybody said, I'd better make my bed
Cos that is what they say when they are talking
