[Chorus]

Time goes by while I'm making my one

Last try yet again, and it's

Never the same attempt twice

It's only a matter of—

Tie my shoelaces onto a tree

That little bit harder to flee

Got that itch in my feet

Won't be long now till I

[Verse]

I'm making the same old choices

I'm ready to fly the coop to

Find a better day

Nicer than today

I'm hearing the same old voices

They're telling me, "Don't forget

It's time to run away"

So I never stay, and

[Chorus]

Time goes by while I'm making my one

Last try yеt again, and it's

Never the samе attempt twice

It's only a matter of—

Tie my shoelaces onto a tree

That little bit harder to flee

Got that itch in my feet

Won't be long now till I leave

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

It's hard to see when you're just nineteen

There might be some things you'd like to keep

The seasons change, I feel the same

But somehow, the days slip away

[Chorus]

And time goes by while I'm making my one

Last try yet again, and it's

Never the same attempt twice

It's only a matter of—

Tie my shoelaces onto a tree

That little bit harder to flee

Got that itch in my feet

It won't be long now till I leave
