All the Time in the World

Hearts are breaking for hearts that are broken So eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die Or maybe next Tuesday for those of us without a battle flag to fly Though we are no less noble or brave Because we can still wave goodbye We have all the time in the world Until the limitless possibilities of youthful infinity turn into mortality But that's after a long, fun struggle of watching everyone Not me and not you Suddenly go pale Some failed to live up to life Some trailed behind their own comet tails Some wailed and cried out to God to no avail And some got impaled by speeding metal And infected needles But I'm here And you're here And why do we still care enough Or even too much to write or make words In the hope that someone in the future will hear? History is just one lost language after another After another And when they're all taken together we still can't decipher the past or decode the future We're just lost without a map We are dust, it's true And to dust we shall return, me and you But it was fun while it lasted All the time in the world Turns out not to be that much
