  • Before the start, time at separate tables
    Time in common
    And with your friends, sitting in the wings
    Time in common
    Smiling politely, I was standing in the backyard
    I didn't have another place to go
    Time in a vacuum, two-hundred waking hours

    Oh yeah, do you ever think about it?
    Do you feel it all that much?
    Do you really think it matters?

    Beside the water, your legs were next to mine
    Time in common (time in common, time in common)
    On the couches at other people's houses
    Time in common (time in common, time in common)
    Outside the hall, words in the right order
    I said it back, you said it back
    Brand new union, a mutual life assured
    Time in common

    Oh yeah, do you ever think about it?
    Do you feel it all that much?
    Do you really think it matters?
    I tell you, I do

    Pale blue dots suspended in the sky
    Elastic time inside a flying can
    By the columns at sunset
    The birds were rising and falling and rising
    Then on the platform, through the window of the train
    Time in common Writer/s: Francis Keaney, Joseph Clement Russo, Joseph Kevin White, Marcel Tussie, Thomas Russo
