Time Is All Around Lyrics

Cover art for Time Is All Around lyrics by Regina Spektor

she knows what it's like to be stepped on and left behind, and she's lonely, so she conjures up a cat to keep her company. she has empathy toward the cat and tries not to step on it as others had to her.

i'm thinking leaves are a metaphor for people? time is all around, making us older, until we die.

i really hope i will get more beautiful with age, like the leaves. (i don't mean by appearance.)
