Lyrics
Time’s crime is that it stole your youth
Trapped it in black and white from the photo booth
When you had nothing to lose
So now when you look back
You can find yourself trapped
In those moments that never seem to last
So it comes
So it goes
The fleeting feeling
That we’re in control
In time it all comes back to you
In different shades of blue
Everything we lose
In time it all comes back to you
In different shades of blue
It’s always been you
You and I used to rule the world
A puppet on a string we would watch it twirl
The envy of every boy and girl
But all the plans that we made
Soon gave way to the weight
Of all the things we didn’t say
As those late nights turned into early days
In a flash you’re taken back
To walk the streets of her laugh
The days may move slow
But the years move so fast
So it comes
So it goes
The fleeting feeling
That we’re in control
In time it all comes back to you
In different shades of blue
Everything we lose
In time it all comes back to you
In different shades of blue
It’s always been you
In another time
In another place
Maybe you’d be mine
