Time

(album: Straight No Chaser - 2009)

Time is all I fear
It's why I just keep running
The quest for love was all that you and I held dear
With the beat still in your head
And a good book by your bed
We will survive

Someday, are we gonna wake up
A little bit older?
Are we out of time?
I know that, should we ever break up
We'll find a way to make up
In the fullness of time

Tell me where d'you wanna be
When all your friends have settled down
In the suburbs on the greener side of town?

Time is all I fear
It's why I just keep running
The quest for love was all that you and I held dear
With the beat still in your head
And the good book by your bed

And as your old man said
"Good friends, well you can count them on one hand"
And they'll never judge you
Whatever your crime

I know that, I can include you
And you'll forgive me
In the fullness of time

Tell me where d'you wanna be
When all your friends have settled down
In the suburbs on the greener side of town?

Time is all I fear
It's why I just keep running
The quest for love was all that you and I held dear
With the beat still in your head
And the good book by your bed
We will survive, you and I
