I can feel the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if I doubt myself I can count on the rain

To cover the tears of this aging game



But I can count on you to play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind I know I can

Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand



And oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn't have been

You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe, you could make history young again



I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry

When the world shuts down I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears



But I lost nothing when I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterdays news

When you run your fingers down my spine
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time



Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of coming around

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make it back to you somehow
