Film Reel

I saw the year pass like a film reel

Like quivering frames through the shutter wheel

Golden like that summer time

Projecting light through my twilight mind

The road on the edge of the coastline

Sun flaring in through the mountain pines

I was clinging on behind

The growl of an engine in overdrive

I was younger then and slipping from you

Only guided by the push and pull

I deserted in one day

Let the photos blow through the alleyway

And all the sun and golden times

Lost to the ocean's silver lines

I was younger then and slipping from you

Only guided by the push and pull

Now I pass alone along that coast

A stranger to where I lost the most

And she will choose a wedding dress

And I will fake some happiness

I was younger then and slipping from you

Only guided by the push and pull
