(I Always Cry At) Regenerations

it's like a spark it's like a tiny little flickering light
i just close it off i close it off until it burns out and dies
if everything goes bad i can't just call you
there's no way to go back and talk to the old you

because things change and people do die and every single thing that you love can disappear overnight
because things change right before your eyes and sometimes it's like the world is moving so slow until it passes you by

it's like fire it's like a white hot flame that's burning inside
but if you let it out it will leave nothing but ashes behind
and if everything goes bad you can't just call me
there's no way to go back and talk to the old me

because things change and people do die and every single thing that you love can disappear overnight
because things change right before your eyes and sometimes it's like the world is moving so slow until it passes you by
