A flash of recollection
A spark from dusty old cells
I sometimes fall out of time
Out on the street today
I thought I saw your face
Of course it couldn't have been
All of our drunken talks
Warm evenings walking the streets
Our clever turns of phrase
I miss our shitty jobs
You smoking by the window
This was our only place
And now I know just what it means
It’s the places that we live
And the people that we see
And the time in our life
All these things combine
And that is who we are
You said: life’s a continuum
We stay the same, we just change
I’m not sure that I agree
I’ve had so many lives
And though my face is the same
I’m not sure much else is
Through all our petty squabbles
Riding the train home at night
Curled up watching TV
I know we can’t go back
Time drags us down like a stone
It sticks like gravity
And now I know just what it means
It’s the places that we live
And the people that we see
And the time in our life
All these things combine
And that is who we are
