Outlines

I'm half remembered halfway across the world
Twice removed from my second home
A shadow of a ghost in an old haunt
With a lease on a life 'cause I can't afford to own
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 can 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 the 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 can 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)

Then 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 can be a story in the morning
But a legend tonight (We can 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
Just for a moment
