This river has dried up
You never thought it would be so soon
Start looking to ship out
Or stepping to a different tune

No reason to linger
You were never built like that
Nothing is forever
But don’t you think of coming back

‘Cos the truth is that

(chorus)
Time goes fast and time goes slow but
All you do is come with your hand out lately
It’s so easy to hang around when
Looking for a way you can cash out
See you in another life maybe

It’s all fabricated
Where were you when the lights went out
Those comments ring hollow
There’s nothing left to talk about

Won’t sit here and take it
I’ve got all my self-respect
Just keep on walking
Time to go and self-reflect

‘Cos when last I checked

(chorus)
Time goes fast and time goes slow but
All you do is come with your hand out lately
It’s so easy to hang around when
Looking for a way you can cash out

(bridge)
I think it’s time to stand up
It’s my turn to stand up baby
Keep on walking and
Don’t you dare look back

(chorus)
