Frame by frame put the pictures together
And watch your life unfold in front of you
A quick summary to remind you how you got here
But you can't
Try to go back and pause just to reminisce
You'll forget that there is still more to add
Understand that it can't be more than a glimpse
Don't waste your time, there's still more life to be had
Life's passing in front of me like a time-lapse
It's going so fast
I'm missing all the details
Catch myself questioning my grasp
On all that I have
On all that I've had
You thought that person's face would take up space
But as you flip through it quickly fades away
And others came to try to take that place but in time
(They all end up the same way)
So you can't
Try to go back in time for another kiss
Once they're gone they're gone there's no looking back
Understand that it can't be more than a glimpse
You can't spend all your time dwelling in the past
Life's passing in front of me like a time-lapse
It's going so fast
I'm missing all the details
Catch myself questioning my grasp
On all that I have
On all that I've had
All the thoughts
And the memories
Disappear with the wind into the trees
Life's happening in front of me like a time-lapse
Like a time-lapse
Like a time-lapse
How do I keep it all up in my head?
While letting go of my mistakes and regrets?
A motion picture flickering in my mind
Find comfort kicking back and laughing til my time
Life's passing in front of me like a time-lapse
It's going so fast
I'm missing all the details
Catch myself questioning my grasp
On all that I have
To be grateful for
All the love
Opportunity
And my health and my friends and my family
Life's happening in front of me like a time-lapse
Like a time-lapse
Like a time-lapse
