Lyrics

Back, I'm back in town

Returning to a familiar place or situation

In which we're stuck, I couldn't get out

Feeling trapped or unable to break free

And that old man, will soon be us

Reflection on aging and the inevitability of becoming like an elderly person

Now if we're too late

Concern about arriving too late

Not if we can't escape

Feeling unable to avoid or evade a situation

All of my time,

All the time that has passed

you were on my mind

Constantly thinking about someone

And all of my thoughts

All of one's thoughts are consumed by the person

You're so hard to find

Struggling to locate or understand someone

And your shadow, it lay across his life

Someone's influence or presence affecting another's life significantly

Time, a time in the past

Reflecting on a specific period in the past

We couldn't care less, wanted to live fast

Desire to live life quickly without much concern

And our old house, I can't find

Unable to find a place that held significance

'Cause it ain't there

Realization that something familiar is no longer present

'Cause it ain't there, it's gone

Reiteration of the absence of something once cherished

All of my time

Recurrence of thoughts about someone

you were on my mind

Continued preoccupation with a person

And all of my love

Feelings of affection or attachment

You're so hard to find

Difficulty in reconnecting with someone emotionally

And your shadow, it lay across my life, my life

Someone's influence dominating and impacting the narrator's life
