Time is a Racecar Lyrics

She came, she went

That's all that was sent

Letter left unsigned

And some money still unspent

Who knows now how she does

Or if she has the time

I still remember her fondly

Before the fame, before the gun

And still I know

That time is a racecar

Burning underground, wheels grinding

Into all our yearning

And I miss you still

And I miss you moving

And I still wear your eyes on my lips

Your graze on my wrist

We came so close

But never took the leap

I don't know if I was nervous

Or if the hill would be too steep

It's like we both went for a ride

But never got up to speed

I guess I thought she'd still be there

For when I felt the need

Now baby I know

That time is a motorcycle

Using gasoline, bodies crashing

Into all our losing what we had

I used to be

And I wish it wasn't so

But I still wear your words in my ears

And your laughter in my tears
