[Verse 1]

It's coming 'round again

The slowly creeping hand

Of time and its command

Soon enough it comes

And settles in its place

Its shadow in my face

Puts pressure in my day

[Chorus]

This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands

These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Verse 2]

It's coming 'round again

The slowly creeping hand

Of time and its command

It settles in its place

Its shadow in my face

Puts pressure in my day

[Verse 3]

Soon enough it comes

Here it is again

The slowly creeping hand

Of time and its command

Soon enough it comes

And settles in its place

Its shadow in my face

Undignified and lame

[Chorus]

This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands

These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands

These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Bridge]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Soon enough it comes (Ooh, ooh)

Soon enough it comes to tie us down (Ooh, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh

It's coming 'round again

Slow

Slowly creeping hand

[Chorus]

This life, well, it's slipping right through my hand

These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Control, well, it's slipping right through my hand

These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
