Caught (But Not)

I tried to play death 'round the world,
up and down the streets I crawled;
crossing the days off the calendar.
Just a month until I was over,
a month for me to live in,
just a month 'til I'm over.

I try, to catch you,
but you're flying away,
just to get away from me
when my time's half over.

Now we're half done with my story,
bawling along the whole way,
trying to say we've got something in our eyes,
but it's tears because I can't stay.

I try, to catch you,
but you're flying away,
just to get away from me
when my time's nearly over.

In black and white we tried
to take it one step at a time.
And we got our steps mixed up and now we're
trying to find our way back out.
Now it's all in technicolor,
never have I been so scared.

Try to say "I told you so"
because it's just the truth.
Remember those days at the end of summer?
We were infinite those days, those days.

I try, to catch you,
but you're flying away,
just to get away from me
when my time's already over, already over.
