I'm keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And they can run, they can run from the front to the last rites
And we can hear, we can hear the first beat to the flat line
I'm keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And once it's done

Though we dreamed of life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that, it's done

Back it up, back it up, stop, fast-forward, rewind
And watch the sun, watch the moon taking turns in the same sky
And you were dead as the leaves, now you're new like the springtime
Back it up, back it up, stop, fast-forward, rewind
And once it's done

Oh, we dreamed of life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that, it's done
(x2)

Still we stand with the help of a steady hand
Capture images of boy, a man, until it's done
And seven years combined is just the flicker of a neon sign
Little negatives of hopes refined
Until they're done, oh, they're done

Oh, we dreamed of life
It was just like that, was like that
And just like that, and just like that, it's done
(x3)
