Turn down the volume Time is slow Put up the chairs and sweep the floor Turn off the lights, baby, lock the door It’s time to go
The jokes are over They’ve all been told If you’re not there now Just let it go She’s looking, yeah, but she ain’t that close It’s time to go
Ooooh you’ve been running so long Desperate to be somewhere you belong Oh if you don’t know what you want How are you moving on? Constantly here and gone
Let me tell you A bit of my truth It may be similar to The road paved for you If you’re always settling You’re driving straight through And you’ll learn nothing new
You got a dark house A name on the deed Walk inside See if the walls bleed If that’s something you think you need Well, I think it’s time to leave
Ooooh you’ve been running so long Desperate to be somewhere you belong Oh if you don’t know what you want How are you moving on? Constantly here and gone
Wake from death Fallen leaves Survive the winter Just for the spring Find the air that’s their for you to breathe Until you get what you need
Ooooh you’ve been running so long Desperate to be somewhere you belong Oh if you don’t know what you want How are you moving on? Ooooh you’ve been running so long Desperate to be somewhere you belong Oh if you don’t know what you want How are you moving on? Constantly here and gone Constantly here and gone
I wake early to hear A destructive fist at my door And it seems quite clear I’m not welcome anymore She tried to keep my mind at ease But this weed-smoked, lust-soaked room Can’t hold on to me anymore Now I know Yeah I know
When the late night cries And the diamonds bleed And the tired old way you always say that she still misses me She could never believe that she could be free She could never understand How much this dream meant to me So I know Time it comes and goes This time I won’t let it go
Now the man tells me Just how happy I could be If I turn my eyes and ignore the lies That these other people believe But I can no longer hear And I can no longer fear Cause the dreams they give you They will only end every night in tears And I know Time it comes and goes This time I won’t let it go
They say as time it fades Dreams they waste away But if you don’t build them They will melt into the clay But if you made them And them your pain has shaped them You will work the stone To make these dreams your dreams alone
And when you see me as the daylight shines My face tells you I’ve been up all night Cause though the man keeps hounding me I know I cannot give up the fight I must try to read I must lie to believe I must hammer these words Into tree-pressed sheets Just to tell myself that I can always dream Cause I know Time it comes and goes This time I won’t let it go
