lyrics

I count the years ahead backwards
I discount the decade behind as borrowed
I figure, I'll figure the rest, as and when
But I document this day, just the same

I count our years ahead with vigilance
Will we be merry, will you be crying?
We figure we'll figure it out as and when
But I document our days, just the same

And we won't let the sun blind us
As the days get longer
So will these pages
And we won't read or reminisce
Long for or miss
When we are all the ages

I count the years ahead in my head
But I don't count them as numbers or fragments
It figures that it figures itself out in the end
But these documents, they keep us
These documents, they keep us
These documents, they keep us present
