[Verse 1]
It's coming 'round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day

[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Verse 2]
It's coming 'round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
Soon enough it comes
Here it is again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
Settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Bridge]
Soon enough it comes
Soon e—, soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
Soon e—, soon enough it comes

[Chorus]
This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

[Outro]
Soon enough it comes
Soon e—, soon enough it—
Soon e—, soon enough it comes
Soon e—, soon enough it comes
