The Times Lyrics by Rika (NYC)

A New York Love Affair

2019

[Verse 1]
It's so crazy
All my peers around me getting married, havin’ babies
Owning bricks and owning businesses, and it's just so weird
To know that we're at that age
And I wanna remember how I felt back in grade school
Play it cool
Damn it seems like yesterday
And it’s hard to understand why it goes at such a rapid pace
[Chorus]
This age is so weird
These times are so weird
How did we get here?
Approaching 30 years
Friends we were close to
We ain't even spoke to
The times just keep movin'
[Verse 2]
The biggest boulder is facing the fact that my parents are getting older
Knowing one day I won't have them, it just tears me apart inside
And I wanna remember how I felt back in high school
Play it cool
Damn it seems so far away
And it's hard to say why, but sometimes I just feel so afraid
[Chorus]
This age is so weird
These times are so weird
How did we get here?
Approaching 50 years
Friends we were close to
We ain't even spoke to
The times just keep movin'
[Bridge]
If time is an illusion
How come it can feel so real?
And all of life's confusion
Can be so hard to deal
So you hop in the car
And you drive real far
Cuz you just need to pause and catch a breath
Then you get a chill when shit get real
And you think about life and you think about death
Oh my my my, funny how time flies
Crazy to think it goes so fast
But what can you do
‘cept stay true to you?
Guess ya just gotta make the moments last
[Chorus]
This age is so weird
These times are so weird
How did we get here?
Approaching 80 years
Friends we were close to
We ain’t even spoke to
The times just keep movin’
[Bridge Resurgence]
So you hop in the car
And you drive real far
Cuz you just need to pause n catch a breath
Then you get a chill when ya get really real
N ya think about life and you think about death
Oh my my my, funny how time flies
Crazy to think it goes so fast
But what can you do
‘cept stay true to you?
Guess ya just gotta make the moments last
[Chorus]
This age is so weird
These times are so weird
How did we get here?
Ohh, can somebody tell me
How does it go so fast?
The friends we used to be close to
Lately we ain't even spoke to
It’s just so strange how the times just keep movin'
They keep on movin', keep on movin'
Keep on, keep on
And I’m so grateful, don't meant to sound ungrateful I'm just...
It's just so crazy…
