Statues

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I put it all
On one last spin
See, I was hopin'
We might be lucky
But I lost it all
Like the winter loses to the spring
Now I'm hopin'
That you might forgive me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm thinkin' to myself
Though we never had much else
We always had something to say
And I can't understand
As we made all these plans
How it felt like we needed more days

[Chorus]
And the years go by
And she takes each morning with her
Maybe time is a statue not a river

[Verse 2]
Well, I drank away the last few weeks
Turnin' me into a single picture
Wish I could show yeh
But it's fadin' by the hour
Yeah, I been tryin' to find a new mind
A new way of livin'
'Cause this one is givin'
Me a heart attack

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's ghosts at every door
Lookin' through my mind
Tryin' to find the things to destroy
And I'm sure it's speedin' up
A decade to me now is like a summer
When I was a boy

[Chorus]
And the years go by
And I wait to be delivered
Maybe time is a statue not a river

[Bridge]
Why were you so kind to me?
Why were you so kind?
Why were you so kind to me?
Why were you so kind?

[Outro]
As the years went by
And the night is drawin' closer
Maybe time is a heartbeat not a river
And the years go by
And I wish I could go with her
Maybe love is a statue not a river
