That's My Way Of Keeping Track Of Time
you know I never used to drink but these days it's my only link to understanding what it is to cope with loss to feel regret my how time has really flown just yesterday I had someone these days I have the extra space in my bed there's a guitar case that's sleeping where you used to be oh you know I never used to drink this way did I just hear a noise at my door I go to check but nobody's there today I found a photograph of me when I was 10 and laughing oh it's funny how a life can change from wondering why the sky is gray and to abandoning caution giving time away like something you can give for free like happiness has just one key but things aren't always what they seem Songtextebecause every failure is once a dream and mine its still has never changed I wished to write a song that never fades did I just hear a noise at my door I go to check but nobody's there I just realized it's new years eve well that's my way of keeping track of time because fate has never failed it seems I always spend this night alone and wonder where you are and who you plan on kissing when this year expires leaving in its wake a trail of memories you can't escape the past I hear it's just a burden that you have to bear hold a second someone's at my door I open up the locks and twist the doorknob all to find the girl whom I am writing this song for my mouth opens to speak with tears upon my cheeks my body says "hello Emma I'm happy to see you again" Aus Songtexte Mania
