lyrics

I've seen the madness to your method;
I've seen the signs, seen all the lights turn green.
I learned easily.
(I've seen the madness to your method.)
Fireworks are over in a second.
Show me a flame that burns eternally
And never turns on me.
(That would be a first for me.)
I've heard that time's the greatest healer,
But if no one gets out of life alive,
Then how can time be on our side?
(How can the universe deliver?)
They tell me time's the greatest teacher,
But time kills all her students in the end.
No, time is not my friend.

Time is relative,
But I -- I'm absolute.
So you've got to give me all of you,
Or it does not compute.
This part-time love for the hell of it
Is not the love I need.
I'm 29 going on 30;
I'm in for infinity.

Don't tell me age is just a number,
When it's numbers you build your name around
And gild a frame around.
(Don't you reduce me to a number.)
Someday, the game you play will crumble.
It will humble you, when your towers fall
And numbers all get zeroed out.

Time is relative,
But I -- I'm absolute.
So you've got to give me all of you,
Or it does not compute.
This part-time love for the hell of it
Is not the love I need.
I'm 29, I'm going on 30;
I'm in for infinity.
I'm in for infinity.
I read your theory
Of your relativity.

Time is relative
But I -- I'm absolute.
So you've got to give me all of you,
Or it does not compute.
This part-time love for the hell of it
Is not the love I need.
I don't have time for all your theories,
I barely have time to me.
'Cause I'm absolute,
And you've got to give me all of you,
Or it does not compute.
This part-time love for the hell of it
Is not the love I need.
I'm 29, I'm going on 30,
I'm in for infinity.
