time-lapse lifeline

i'm keeping up, keeping up with the time-lapse lifeline
and they can run, they can run from the font to the last rites
and we can hear, we can hear the first beat to the flat line
i'm keeping up, keeping up with the time-lapse lifeline
and once it's done...

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that,
and just like that it's done

back it up, back it up, stop, fast-forward, rewind
and watch the sun, watch the moon taking turns in the same sky
and you were dead as the leaves now you're new like the spring-time
back it up, back it up, stop, fast-forward, rewind
and once it's done...

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that
and just like that it's done

still we stand with the help of a steady hand
capture images of boy and man
...till it's done
and seven years combined is just the flicker of a neon sign
little negatives of hopes refined
till they're done, oh they're done...

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that
and just like that

and just like that it's done.
