Outlines lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just for the moment

Just for a moment
