Outlines

[Verse 1]
I'm half remembered, half way across the world
Twice removed from a second home
The shadow of a ghost in an old haunt
With a lease on life 'cause I can't afford to own
When being young starts getting old
A new place saves face or so I’m told
Be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop

[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment

[Verse 2]
I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterday
Half the time, I’m a world away
A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes
On the face of a town that could not get me to stay
And when the spark’s gone, former lovers
Just looking for a bus to throw me under
I’ll be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop

[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment
Just for a moment

[Bridge]
When being young starts getting old
A new place saves face or so I’m told
I’ll be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop

[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment (you lose)
Just for the moment (no, you lied)
Just for a moment
