Common Ground - The Get Up Kids

One day the kids will have a clue

They can fill you in

Research would have taken hours

Walking backwards just to get

To your present

Where you might find common ground

All your old friends

Scared of the end

Maybe I’ll write a dissertation

Or keep it to myself

Seems it’s shorter every year

What we’re calling generations

It’s almost to the hour

Do you remember when?

Old man, stay quiet

It’s not your time

Way out I know, time to let go

Who said it lasts forever?

These words play on

Long since I’ve gone

It’s heavy on my soul

Last night I tried

For the last time

Way out I know, time to let go

Who said it lasts forever?

These words play on

Long since I’ve gone

It’s heavy on my soul
