Lyrics
Time Of Our Lives
Music and lyrics by Natalie Hiong
Remember how we lived it up in London
Those nights that lasted till dawn
Winter's chill in our little dresses
And freezing off our asses
Remember us sitting by the railway
Laughing, talking those hours away
We made a promise to be friends forever
But where's forever just three years later?
Oh everything changes
Numbers add to our ages
These hands, these hands, they just keep on ticking
Chorus:
If I take this clock and break it
Could I make time stop?
Can I take this moment and frame it
I'll keep it safe from time's ravaging hands
Can I tie these hours to a hot air balloon
And let them float into the skies
I'd stop time now
While we're having the time of our lives
Remember all those summer romances
Back when we dared to take chances
All the boys that we once kissed
And those we placed on our secret wish list
Remember us traipsing round Europe
Until we were nearly broke
But it was worth every dollar and dime
Cos soon we'd have the money but we'd have no time
Oh everything changes
Numbers add to our ages
These hands, these hands, they just keep on ticking
Chorus
Bridge:
No matter how we try
We can't hit rewind
So let's live today
Like it's the last day of our lives
Chorus
