You never kept it secret, but forgive me if I cry
The first thing you promised is we would say goodbye
But you didn't say when, you didn't say how
You told me not to stress and to keep my head down
But I peeked, and
(Now you can see me coming from a mile away)
I didn't write the play but I still got lines to say
Got my life today
Got my pages and I'm a pro so I know that the show's
Gotta go when the light's bright on stage (places)
Life is mean it's been months since I seen her
But I still got that picture of us out in Argentina on my wall
Why'd I do it again, when I know how it ends?
Coulda seen it
Coming from a mile away
Coming from a mile away
Coming from a mile away
Coming from a mile away
Coming from a mile away
I used to think I'd been built to race
I'd run uphill at a filthy pace for like fifty years
Fuck that shit, better fill a vase,
Pick some roses and chill a case of like fifty beers
Been spending too many nights running
Inside of my mind from what I can spy coming
Come a knocking on my creaky back door
No sneak attacks dork, pop a cork
It's another year another party
Wow, can you believe December's here
Of course I can, we say the same shit every fuckin year
So let's get the next one out the way right now
"Wow, can you believe that it's al—" —we're not slowing down
What trips me out is not the pace of the foot race
It's that we're here in the first place, look around
There's no time to miss the past, the future is coming fast
And it's screaming at us
You can see me coming from a mile away
