How can we know how far the long way can be Looking from where we are it never seemed that long to me I've many miles behind me maybe not so much ahead Seems I made good time with the directions I misread Chorus: I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall No matter how much time I buy, I can never spend it all Funny thing that time, we're always running out I'm always losing mine, there's not enough of it about And though it's always here, it will always come and go The days become the years that'll be gone before you know Chorus 2: I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall I won't go quietly into that dark night There'll be no more burning daylight I'll be living in Every moment that I'm in Chorus No matter how much time we buy We can never spend it all
