[D/F#]
[Verse 1]
I’m half remembered, halfway across the world,
Twice removed from my second home[D/F#],
A shadow of a ghost in an old haunt,
With a lease on life ’cause I can’t afford to own,
When being young starts getting old,
A new place saves face or so I’m [D/F#]told,
I’ll be the new kid on an old block,
A chalk outline on a playground black top.
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by,
[D/F#] We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight,
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by,
[D/F#] And they can speak our names in a dead language ‘cause you and I,
We’re alive, but just for a moment.
[Verse 2]
I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterday,
Half the time I’m a world aw[D/F#]ay,
A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes,
On the face of a town that could not get me to stay,
When the spark’s gone,
Former lovers just looking for a bus to throw me [D/F#]under,
I’ll be the new kid on an old block,
A chalk outline on a playground black top.
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by,
[D/F#] We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight,
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by,
[D/F#] And they can speak our names in a dead language ‘cause you and I,
We’re alive, but just for a moment.
