“Me today, you tomorrow”
Is what my mother used to say
As we know, our time is borrowed
And given back as we decay

I can feel it when I’m looking at the moon, it happened all too soon
I can feel it when I’m breathing in the night, the air stings with the truth
We’re fighting gravity

Some, unaware of what they're chasing
Will win the race but lose the game
And all of those who are waiting for the future
Will be shocked when they find out that they’re twice their age

I can feel it when I’m looking at the moon, it happened all too soon
I can feel it when I’m breathing in the night, the air stings with the truth
We’re fighting gravity

Time takes a piece of us that we can never take back
Time answers the questions that we are afraid to ask

Oh Oh Ohhhhh
Although I’ve always known
That one day I would find myself gasping for air like there’s not enough oxygen left
Do I run from the truth
And cling to my youth
Blind with the eyes that I’ve closed?

Do I run from the truth
And cling to my youth
Blind with the eyes that I’ve closed?

Me today, you tomorrow
The face in the mirror reveals what I know
The child can breathe, and soon he will grow old
Do I run from the truth?

Only you know why
You've wasted too much time
To let it slip through your fingers again
All the time you choked
All this time you had to know
It comes back around in the end

We’re fighting gravity
