[Intro]

Finally found a place to lay my head

Looks so good from down here on this hospital bed


[Verse 1]

I'll be the one to be undone

I'll go where the sun isn't shining

Once I was young

Those days are gone

Suddenly I'm 33 and on a gurney


[Pre-Chorus]

Apologies and obligations

All the myriad sensations compounding


[Chorus]

Echoes in my brain

Echoed in refrain

Always a replay

Like a Grecian tragedy

Oh, where the time goes

Who really knows?


[Verse 2]

You said, "Get a doctor, my wife's going under"

She's off where the sun isn't shining

I thought I would argue

Or cleverly bargain

It looks like I won't be going down stoically


[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, to love you and be loved

To have the final memory of you compounding


[Chorus]

Echoes in my brain

Echoed in refrain

Echoes all the same way, away

Away, away, ooh, ooh-ooh


[Outro]

Oh, where the time goes

Who really knows?

Oh, where the time goes

Who really knows?
