It’s a square in the city that never sleeps,

It’s the distance here between you and me,

It’s the reason my daddy and I see differently

 

It’s the dash chisled in an old stone

It Flys, before ya know it it’s gone,

You can try to hold it back, but you won’t

 

Chorus

It’s time and it’s time that I take it,

Cause It’s mine and I ain’t gonna waste it,

It’ll change, but it won’t slow down and it don’t Lie

All this time I thought I was Chasing it ya see,

But now I’m seeing how it’s catching up with me,

And right now its got me thinking about spending it right,

Yeah and it’s about time

 

It’s money, of the essence and it slips away,

It’s that second hand ticking every loving day

You try to save it but always running behind

 

It’s the thing that you said that you needed most,

It’s the memories and laughs that it somehow stole

From my grandpas mind as grew old and lost track

You can’t get it back

 

Chorus

It’s time and it’s time that I take it,

Cause It’s mine and I ain’t gonna waste it,

It’ll change, but it won’t slow down and it don’t Lie

All this time I thought I was Chasing it ya see,

But now I’m seeing how it’s catching up with me,

And right now its got me thinking about spending it right,

It’s about time
