These Days  by Andrea Skola © 2006

These days

She spends an awful lot of time across a table

Try'n to sum up her life story to some stranger

That she met here or there…

And these days

He's got a laptop, phone and fax there in his office

And it's twenty rows of glass to his apartment

Right down town with a view…

And they say it's such a long road

Ain't it funny, where'd the time go?

So, today

She skips goin' to the gym to get home faster

She's gonna try to make the most of past disasters

The dates at eight, he won't be late

And tonight

She'll try to keep herself from drowning in a bottle

While she faces all that seems to have changed about them

They aren't the kids they once knew

And they say it's such a long road

Ain't it funny, where'd the time go?

Oh they know it's such a long, long road

Ain't it funny, where'd the time go.

Oh she knows that once the car arrives

That bridging differences within their lives

Is a step or two when compared

To the miles of road that lead him there

To her, front door. 

Ain't it funny where the time go.

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

So tonight

She practices the speech she plans to give him

And she prays to God she has the strength to tell him

And she puts up her hair

Then she lets down her hair

(and they say it's been a long road)

And tonight

(Ain't it funny… Where'd the time go)

She smiles as she sees his headlights…
