I’m on a bullet train with no breaks
Even if I slow down inside
The whole world still slips right on by
Not a moment to lose
Not a moment to catch my breath
And say goodbye

Because the world is still turning
The sun is still shining
And time is still ticking
And my heart though broken
Is still beating for you

And the days they grow warmer
And the nights they turn colder
But there’s no stopping it from doing so
Just like I can’t stop
My hair from turning gray
Or my youth from flying away

And there’s nothing to do but move forward, anyway.
