outlines

i'm half remembered, half way across the world, twice removed from a second home, the shadow of a ghost in an old haunt, with a lease on life, 'cause i can't afford to own, when being young starts getting old, a new place saves face or so i'm told, be the new kid, on an old block, a chalk outline on a playground blacktop, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, we could be a story in the morning, but we'll be a legend tonight, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, and they can speak our names in a dead language, cause you and i, we're alive, but just for a moment, i'm twice the man that i thought i was yesterday, half the time, i'm a world away, a flicker of a soul casting silhouettes, on the face of a town that could not get me to stay, and when the spark's gone, former lovers just looking for a bus to throw me under, i'll be the new kid on an old block, a chalk outline on a playground blacktop, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, we could be a story in the morning, but we'll be a legend tonight, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, and they can speak our names in a dead language, cause you and i, we're alive, but just for a moment, just for a moment, when being young starts getting old, a new place saves face or so i'm told, i'll be the new kid, on an old block, a chalk outline on a playground blacktop, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, we could be a story in the morning, but a legend tonight, i'm just a moment, so don't let me pass you by, they can speak our names in a dead language, cause you and i, we're alive, but just for a moment, just for the moment, just for the moment
