Not Coming Back, August 2005

This song makes me cry sometimes when I sing it.

I cannot say the day things changed
Only that they did
Will they ever be the same, you ask me
But in your heart you know

It’s been years since childhood ran away
It’s been years since adolescence took the car
Today you’re realizing that they’re not coming back
They’re not coming back

Didn’t even blink but in that instant your life changed
There’s a chasm where your youth used to be
What have you done with all those days?
I guess time flies

It’s been years since childhood ran away
It’s been years since adolescence took the car
Today you’re realizing that they’re not coming back—
They’re not coming back

You always knew you would get older
Never a doubt crossed your mind
Don’t look over you shoulder at the past
A pillar of salt gets left behind

It’s been years since childhood ran away
It’s been years since adolescence took the car
Today you’re realizing that they’re not coming back—
They’re not coming back
