If i’ve ever felt some envy
I swear it’s only been for those
With so much time slipping through their hands
It comes dripping on their toes
And if i’ve ever sat real quiet
Staring straight through glass windows
I swear i’m loving every minute
In the chaos of my mind, i know
It looks concerning, but
I promise that i’ll be all right
I’m just wondering why i ever thought that
Time is money is money is time
I’ve never mastered either
But only one of them i can’t get back…
There’s a couple special milestones
That make me feel alive
But my favorite mark of feeling old was
Learning how to drive (re-learning)
‘cause there’s something about the way we’re placed
In the car together, looking out in space
That makes me molt my shell
And share the thoughts inside
You’re driving on the highway
And we’re singing til the battery dies
And i’m just wondering why i ever thought that
Time is money is money is time
I never mastered either
But only one of them i can’t get back
So before you pull up to the road
And before i fumble for my phone
Keep your pedal on the gas
So we can take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
Before we have to dial back to
A world we barely know
The long way home
The long way home
We’ll stay a while in the world
We used to know
So now i’m sitting shotgun
And feeling pretty sad
Cause these parked car conversations
Are the best i ever had
We’re all trying to put out the fires
And i might not see you a while
And since the last time won’t announce itself
You gotta make time while it’s had
You say i oughtn’t worry
But could you tell me that we’ll be all right
Cause i’m just out here wondering why i thought that
Time is money is money is time
I never mastered either
But only one of them i can’t get back
So before you pull up to the road
And before i fumble for my phone
Keep your pedal on the gas
So we can take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
Before we have to dial back to
A world we barely know
The long way home
The long way home
Let’s stay a while in the world
We used to know
