meet me at the house on the hill
and we'll talk about all the things that need to be spoken about
like when you said you'd always be my friend
well, truth be told, you wouldn't shed a tear if you never saw me again.

but if you could've seen my face when they told me
you would've known that you're missed in this place
'cause old age is a gift and a curse
I say "I'm fine" but I've never felt worse.

but no, we move on
like there's nothing wrong
I guess I'm just waiting, for my turn to come along
and my turn will come along.

I've learned that there's a time for everything.

I had to learn how to deal with losing everyone around me
my younger brother just finally passed at 95.
had to learn how to deal with not knowing if the life I'm leading
is the one I'm supposed to.
I had to deal with being drafted into the army at age 18,
and watch my mother cry as I sailed away.
I had to deal with not knowing if I'd go to heaven or hell when I die,
but in the end no one knows, no one's going to know.

but no, I moved on
like there was nothing wrong
guess I'm just waiting for my turn to come along.

I had to learn to live with all these things like everyone else does
I had to learn to stop running away, and put other people before me
(in the end)
I learned at the end of every work day is emptiness.
without my family loving me,
I didn't matter how many things I did
or how many people I met
or how much money I made
oh, it didn't matter.
forget about it.

I had to learn to stop running away
put other people before me
it wasn't until then that I was truly happy.
