sam tompkins: Time Will Fly

you’re gonna meet some new friends
but one’ll die
then you’re gonna be depressed
and that’s fine
you may even find love
a few times
then you’re gonna break up
but that’s life
you’re out weekly
now you’re only sixteen
on ship street
working on a big dream
to make an ep
and throw it on a CD
then radio
on repeat

you were right
you did everything that you said you would do
so don’t try
to give it up that’s what they want you to do

time will fly
run away from you
and it’s alright
it’s what you’re made to do
you will cry
but that’s what’s taken you
to one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you

you’re gonna meet your hero
you know the guy
yeah, you’re gonna go far
that high
people will sell you dreams enough times
but you’ll read the tc’s and dotted lines

you know why
you’re playing those strings in the morning til the
late night
putting in work cos it’s all you knew

time will fly
run away from you
and it’s alright
it’s what you’re made to do
you will cry
but that’s what’s taken you
to one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you

(talking)

I think it’s a shame that you can’t talk to your younger self cause a lot of the time when i was younger i needed someone exactly like me to show up and be there when i needed them… but, i’m there for them now.

(time will fly)
time will fly
(run away from you)
run away from you
(and it’s alright)
it’s alright
(it’s what you’re made to do)
it’s what you’re made to do
(you will cry)
you will cry now
(but that’s what’s taken you)
that’s what’s taken you to
one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you
