Running Out

Watching the clock
At Union Square Station in the park
And it's 80 in November
So walked down by the water
Saw a father with his daughter
Kind of thing that makes you wonder
What the future has to offer

And the clock
Says you're movin' in December, but I'm not
We try to keep in touch
But let's not promise one another
I know you barely call your mother
All our moments pull me under
Wish this year had lasted longer

Time keeps runnin' out
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
I hate counting down
I didn't know,
I didn't know
That you were slipping through my fingers
Tried to make it linger
Don't want to let go of the winter

I hate countin' down
Countin' down
Time keeps running out

Lower East Side
Closing out the Red Room Thursday night
And I don't think there was a second that
Your hands weren't holding mine
You pulled me close, you held me tight
Guess there's nothing you can do
When it's not perfectly aligned

Time keeps runnin' out
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
I hate counting down
I didn't know,
I didn't know
That you were slipping through my fingers
Tried to make it linger
Don't want to let go of the winter

I hate counting down
Counting down
Time keeps running out
Time keeps
Time keeps

Running Out
