Time is slipping away from me
Today
Like the sand in my hand
The water from a broken dam
Tears of grief
I can't hold on to it
No matter how hard I try
It's slipping like an ice cube
An oiled burglar
A slurpy noodle
A skier gone astray
A foot on a banana peel
A fish out of water
A ghost through the door
Time is slipping away from me
Today
And I don't know
What to do
I'm pushing on the brake pedals
And searching for a pause button
But time is
Slipping away
From me
Today.
