Im half remembered halfway across the world
twice removed from my second home
the shadow of a ghost in an old heart
with a lease on life cause i cant afford to own
when being young starts getting old
a new place, same face
or so im told
ill be the new kid on an old block
a chalk outline on a playground blacktop

 [bad word] 
I’m just a moment so dont let me pass you by
we could be a story in the morning
but we’ll be a legend tonight
Im just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
they can speak our names in a dead language
cause you and I, we’re alive
but just for a moment.

I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterday
Half the time I’m a world away
flicker of a soul casting silhouettes
on the face of a town that could not get me to stay
and when the spark’s gone for the lovers
just looking for a bus to throw me under

I’ll be the new kid
on an old block
chalk outline on a playground blacktop

I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
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
They can speak our names in a dead language
cause you and I we’re alive
But just for a moment, just for a moment.

When being young starts getting old
a new place, same face
or so I’m told
I’ll be the new kid
on an old block
chalk outline on a playground blacktop

I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
we could be a story in the morning
but e a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
they can speak our names in a dead language
cause you and I, we’re alive
but just for a moment.
