[Verse 1]
We were kids in a backyard war
Now they're pushing strollers through the store
Used to fight for the last slice of pie
Now we're just trying to get by
[Prechorus]
Time’s a thief with a crooked grin
Stealing days we’ll never get again
[Chorus]
Family ties they stretch and pull
We were whole now we’re handfuls
What happens when the old ones go
Will we fade or will we grow
Family ties they hold they fray
But we’ll still be here someday
[Verse 2]
Birthday candles on a cluttered cake
Photos framed but the glass might break
Lullabies now become bedtime screams
They’re living the lives we dreamed
[Prechorus]
Time’s a liar with a cruel disguise
Turning homes into goodbyes
[Chorus]
Family ties they stretch and pull
We were whole now we’re handfuls
What happens when the old ones go
Will we fade or will we grow
Family ties they hold they fray
But we’ll still be here someday
