When Did Time Start Leaving - LUNA VALE
Ooh
mmm
When did time
start leaving
The days were longer when I was small
Summer could fit in a single road
I had no reason to count the hours
I only knew when someone called me home
The sky stayed bright above the rooftops
My shoes were dusty, my heart was light
I thought the world would wait forever
I thought tomorrow was always mine
Then I grew up and went so far
I saw the city lights come on
But none of them felt like that evening
when I had nowhere else to run
When did time start leaving
I never heard it say goodbye
I am not asking for forever
I just miss the slower kind of life
When did I stop being
the child who believed in every light
I do not need to go back there
I just want to see that heart of mine
My name sounds different when I hear it now
Like someone older answering for me
I smile at things I used to question
I miss the things I used to leave
There was a window full of evening
There was a voice across the yard
I did not know that simple moments
would be the ones that travel far
Now every year goes by more quietly
No one tells me where it went
I only feel it when I'm tired
and wish I could be small again
When did time start leaving
I never heard it say goodbye
I am not asking for forever
I just miss the slower kind of life
When did I stop being
the child who believed in every light
I do not need to go back there
I just want to see that heart of mine
Maybe growing up is quiet
Maybe no one tells you when
You only miss the old days
when you cannot find that self again
When did time start leaving
I never heard it say goodbye
I am not asking for forever
I just miss the slower kind of life
When did I stop being
the child who believed in every light
I do not need to go back there
I just want to see that heart of mine
Ooh
if time can hear me calling
tell it I am doing fine
I only miss the way I lived
before I knew that things could fly
