Contemporary Conversation

Time, oh so quickly, snuck up right behind me
Didn’t have time to react
Dazed and confused, I’ve contracted the blues
The world’s not the same, that’s a fact
I think I’ve fallen behind, they think that I’m losing my mind
But it’s far from the truth, I’m still stuck in my youth
The world I know is gone and far from sight

There’s too much contemporary conversation
Fooling myself when I pretend that I understand it all
Contemporary conversation
She’s in the back of my mind, gotta leave it all behind
Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well
Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well

Another new day is dawning, one I’ve seen so many times before
But when I’m touched by the light it’s so different, it confounds me more and more
I think I’ve fallen behind, they think that I’m losing my mind
But it’s far from the truth, I’m still stuck in my youth
The world I know is gone and far from sight

There’s too much contemporary conversation
Fooling myself when I pretend that I understand it all
Contemporary conversation
She’s in the back of my mind, gotta leave it all behind
Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well
Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well

Contemporary conversation, bring me back to the times that I know so well
Contemporary conversation, take me back to the days of my wishing well
