About Where'd All the Time Go?

This song is about the fleetingness of time and middle-age bewilderment at mortality. Time is always on the move until death, then it stops "in the blink of an eye." This song was originally written and recorded by the band in the early 2000s, then disappeared for a long time before cropping up again on the "Shame, Shame" album. The song soundtracked the closing scene of episode three in the second series of Netflix's television series "Outer Banks". .

Where'd All the Time Go? Lyrics

[00:28.30] Where'd all the time go?
[00:30.93] It's starting to fly
[00:38.71] See how the hands go
[00:42.71] Waving goodbye
[00:50.68] And you know I get so forgetful
[00:53.70] When I look in your eyes
[00:57.70]
[01:02.35] Now she's walking backwards (she's walking backwards)
[01:05.85] Through a parade
[01:11.75]
[01:14.25] And I'm stuck in the shadow (stuck in the shadow)
[01:17.05] Blocking the shade
[01:23.21]
[01:25.88] And there ain't no way to sweep up
[01:28.72] The mess that we've made
[01:32.65]
[01:37.02] She gets dressed up like a pillow
[01:39.73] So she's always in bed
[01:43.18] Flowers for the sick and dead
[01:46.53] She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
[01:52.20] She'll turn to stone at hospitals and funeral homes
[01:58.22] And when the fog rises
[02:02.13] Somebody sighs who is not in disguise anymore
[02:09.15]
[02:19.08] There's nothing to keep you (nothing to keep you)
[02:22.27] From falling in love
[02:28.62]
[02:30.65] It starts at the bottom (starts at the bottom)
[02:33.59] And comes from above
[02:41.73] Like pieces of a puzzle
[02:45.07] Like a hand in a glove
[02:49.08]
[02:53.46] She gets dressed up like a pillow so she's always in bed
[02:59.65] Flowers for the sick and dead
[03:03.13] She's on the go, way too fast and way too slow
[03:08.65] She'll turn and stop at hospitals and funeral homes
[03:14.74] And when the tide rises
[03:18.40] Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye
[03:25.30]
[03:40.37] Somebody sinks and is gone in the blink of an eye
[03:45.65]
