My Ever Present Past

Ever Present Past
~Paul McCartney

I’ve got too much on my plate
Don’t have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn’t too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

I’ve got too much on my mind
I think of everything to be discovered
I hope there’s something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

The things I think I did
Indeed indeed I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid

I couldn’t understand the words that they were saying
But still I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn’t join in with the games that they were playing
It went by
It went by in a flash
It flew by
It flew by in a flash

There’s far too much on my plate
Don’t have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it’s never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past
