Hurrying Towards Tomorrow

Do you remember the first time you talked on the phone with a friend

When was the last night you crawled into a bigger bed

Or the last day you had to ask your mama’s permission

Did you feel free when you broke your first tradition

They say the years are short and the days are long

That you’re gonna miss them when they’re gone

But here we are all hurrying towards tomorrow

Here we all are, here we all are

Hurrying towards tomorrow

I don’t remember the very last time I walked out of the doors under the steeple

I can’t recall when I began to feel I didn’t fit with bright and shiny people 

It’s fuzzy but somewhere along the line, I finally didn’t care who liked my clothes

The people that encouraged me, they became the family that I chose

They say the years are short and the days are long

That you’re gonna miss them when they’re gone

But here we are all hurrying towards tomorrow

Here we all are, here we all are

Hurrying towards tomorrow

You can’t flip the glass and make the sands of time change direction

Someday all that’s left are pictures and a friend’s retrospection

So why not enjoy the ride

Why not enjoy the ride

They say the years are short and the days are long

That you’re gonna miss them when they’re gone

But here we are all hurrying towards tomorrow

Here we all are, here we all are

Hurrying towards tomorrow
