Time Flies Either Way Lyrics - Dawes

Between the chemical trails in the morning 

And the UFO's at night 

The sky becomes a canvas 

For my worst conspiracies 

And through the storm clouds that were forming 

More black and blue than white 

I saw two shootin' stars as the getaway car 

My life turned out to be 

But my face is pressed against the window 

While the traveled road lives up to its clichés 

Desperately just trying to hold on to something 

'Cause I'm learning now that the time flies either way

I confuse a sense of purpose 

With grabbing the future by the throat 

While the museum of my memories 

Was just some blurry photographs 

When I was younger I was serious 

Now everything's a joke 

But my friends detect a sadness 

At the end of every laugh 

Which has left me with a tricky sense of humor 

I keep gettin' further led astray 

Every punchline takes on another dimension 

When you realize that the time flies either way 

Photos 

But at the height of this confusion 

That's when your eyes met mine 

I caught a small chance at salvation 

Staring right at me 

I saw my boyhood reach conclusion 

I saw a life spent at your side 

I saw the permanent replacement 

Of all the you's and I's to we 

Findin' out that all my proudest moments 

Will be spent tryin' to put a smile on your face 

And I'm lettin' that fact answer all of my questions 

'Cause I know now that the time flies either way 

I know now that the time flies either way
