Stray Lyrics by CHEWIE

Moving The Goalposts

2016

Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I've grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day

No, that's not what I meant to say
My words came out the wrong way
Now I can't take them back, but it's true
Things have been turned around just when
I thought that I had figured it all out

Because I know

Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I've grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day

Oh, it was simpler when I was young
I was convinced of who I was
And all the clocks ticked slower
But is it true, that the more you know
Leads to the less that you want to know?
The mask has slipped and now it's on the floor

Because I know

Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I've grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day

As the light begins to fade
My voice echoes inside the home I've made
And I can't help but feel afraid that this is not
The place from which I've strayed

From which I've strayed

Everything moves faster nowadays
Nothing I've grown to love can stay
So I will commit them to memory
I will keep them deep inside my chest
A place where time cannot protest
I will visit every single day
