Dreaming of the song you're going to write
The pilots license to take your flight
Standing on stage in the spotlight
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
Wanting to ask the nice girl out
Worried that you just might flame out
Your mind is only full of doubt
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
The passing time can hold you back
Forever frozen in your tracks
Never moving, but looking back
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
When you have a moment take it
Do the dreams that you want to do
Time moves on don't forsake it
You'll be missing it if you do
You'll be missing it when it's thru
Thinking of a story for your book
Trying to write a guitar hook
Interrupted by your neighbors look
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
The passing time can hold you back
Forever frozen in your tracks
Never moving, but looking back
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
The passing time can hold you back
Forever frozen in your tracks
Never moving, but looking back
(But then) the time has gone
The time has gone
The time... has gone...
