about

Father Time is a song about slowing down and taking time to remember remember the details, and taking everything in. I was inspired by a Subaru commercial I saw showing a father watching his daughter drive off to college. I kept thinking of all the moments in my life that should have been captured in my memories, but instead slipped away because I wasn’t paying attention. This song is reflective and a bit more melancholy than the rest of the album. Fun fact, I wrote most of this in the shower at Caesars Palace on a business trip.

lyrics

Falling down, slip and sliding through an hour glass
I used to watch her dance in circles chasing fireflies
seasons change and we'll get to make new memories
so we run into the wild where we’re supposed to be

Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
slowing down I’m taking pictures with my mind
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo-
up against and shaking hands with father time,
some time, when nothing’s left
and all our troubles acquiesce 
you'll still be on my mind
so please don’t ever second guess
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
we'll never get these moments over

forgotten toys rusting in the winter grass
i’ll be back again tomorrow in case you’re coming by

Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
slowing down I’m taking pictures with my mind
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo-
up against and shaking hands with father time,
some time, when nothing’s left
and all our troubles acquiesce 
I’ll look into your eyes, and say the words i left unsaid
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
we'll never get these moments over

You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You're still on my mind

Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
slowing down I’m taking pictures with my mind
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo-
up against and shaking hands with father time,
some time, when nothing’s left
and all our troubles acquiesce 
you'll still be on my mind
so please don’t ever second guess
Ooo- ooo- ooo, ooo- ooo- ooo
we'll never get these moments over
