Relativity (Come September) Lyrics

Midnight marks another year gone by

Hear the bottle rockets scream across the sky

Everybody's on an Auld Lang high

Like there's never been a night like this before

Laughing with my friends from out of town

Playing music loud enough to shake the ceiling down

Swearing we'll do better this time around

And writing resolutions to ignore

But you can't strap time to your wrist

And you can't nail it to the wall

It'll burn us down

Like candles in a heartbeat

As Spring turns into Summer turns to Fall

In a week the year is not so new

Back to business, like we always do

Have a minor battle with the flu

But that won't slow me down for very long

Then the weather warms a bit too soon

Then I go from March to May and June

Check to see my watch is still in tune

And the calendar must certainly be wrong

But you can't strap time to your wrist

And you can't nail it to the wall

Relativity is more than just a concept

As Spring turns into Summer turns to Fall

Come September and I always find

Halloween is never far behind

Barely get the Autumn leaves in mind

When it's Christmastime and snow is on the ground

Midnight marks another year gone by

Hear the bottle rockets scream across the sky

Everybody's on an Auld Lang high

Like there's never been a night like this before

But you can't strap time to your wrist

And you can't nail it to the wall

It'll burn us down

Like candles in a heartbeat

As Spring turns into Summer turns to Fall

No you can't strap time to your wrist

And you can't nail it to the wall

Relativity is stronger than a sundial

As Spring turns into Summer turns to Fall

You can't strap time to your wrist

And you can't nail it to the wall
