“Things pass us by. Nobody can catch them. That's the way we live our lives.”

“You can't gain one thing without loosing something else.
You can try to catch time, but try to catch a moment, it's better.
Days pass, and months go by
And the years come, and a decades gone
It always feels like times are ending
But they go on, and on, and on, and on.”

Ross Mintzer (1987) American musician and performer
