Blink
Should not have left our life unfinished
Looking back, I know that I was wrong
How was one so young supposed to know this
Turn around and blink and we’re both gone
Half a life already spent without you
Now it’s going twice and going gone
Can’t go down the highway
looking in my rearview window
Is this glass so hard to see through?
Every day something to fear for
I would go back in a New York minute
If I could go back already me
I would help you all the time
soothe your life and ease your mind
I’d be your best friend — this time raising me
Half a life already spent without you
Now it’s going twice and going gone
Can’t go down the highway
looking in my rearview window
Is this glass so hard to see through?
Every day something to fear for
So we take the days we get like diamonds
Sitting in the back of your pontoon
Sharing all the stories we have time for
Fireworks and Fourth of July moon
Half a life already spent without you
Now it’s going twice and going gone
Can’t go down the highway
looking in my rearview window
Is this glass so hard to see through?
Every day something to fear for
Every day something to fear for
Should not have left our life unfinished
Looking back, I know that I was wrong
How was one so young supposed to know this
Turn around and blink and we’re both gone
Turn around and blink and we’re both gone
Turn around and blink
