Time Flies

It was 86 when we found out a baby was coming into the mix Everything was bliss but mixed with a feeling of Wow, we're just kids Oh well, we made it work, planted our flag No more time to shirk, our responsibilities Everything changed but we did it willingly Look at that bundle of joy A perfect healthy little baby boy Laughing and smiling and crying, screaming But he's our joy They say they grow up so fast, that's the truth I became a bad father, couldn't even bother To show up for birthdays Man, how fast those joys turn to pains And here comes the rain It was 86 when we brought that baby boy into the mix Filled our lives with bliss but later on couldn't keep up with the kid It's like climbing a mountain, you start off so optimistic But sometimes you fail and all you can do is try to fix it The year was 03, we both needed some time to just go be free Call it time to decompress After years of trying to clean up the mess Let's go somewhere incredible, iconic landmarks Where the foods a little more edible Enjoy a different culture, breath the air, admire some sculptures We'll only be gone a couple weeks Your Aunt will be over to cook you some meat Don't get into trouble, that's all we ask We love you son, be back in a flash It was 86 when we brought that baby boy into the mix Filled our lives with bliss but later on couldn't keep up with the kid It's like climbing a mountain, you start off so optimistic But sometimes you fail and all you can do is try to fix it Sunshine through the blinds as they float in the wind Windows open with the breeze coming in Order some room service, that will be perfect Relax and read a book and look out at The view of the world Ring Ring Ring Ring It's a phone call from home I pick up and say hello It's Aunt Kelly, She's crying She can barely speak She tells me he died last night, drowned in a creek It was 03 when we lost a son Our lives will never be the same Our lives will never be the same We miss you
