Jimmy Gibson - I Think It's Time to Go Lyrics

Johanna missing Mary, draws a picture to calm down
Stands on two feet, watches the ground
Gather water, but not enough for anything good to grow
"Don't let it shock you, I don't read faces, but I think it's time to go"

She calms me down, or tries to, the effort unmistaken
My faith is shattered, we all feel a little torn and shaken
I care for you, I mean it, it's about time someone knows
Don't let it shock you, I don't read faces, but I think it's time to go

I'm still moving, I hope it doesn't show
Don't think I'll be back again, and I think you know
Look for me, in the warm places I go to
Don't think I'll be back again, and I think you know

In the middle of the night I still wake up, I wish I stopped
The dream's too breathless, it's too close, and the bubble popped
I still buy food for paranoid schizophrenics on the street in the afterglow
Don't let it shock you, I don't read faces, but I think it's time to go

Slow it down, I think she says to me
Slow it down, don't touch my hand it's just not right
I wish that I could lose the stones, that weigh myself down
But losing you hasn't helped my taking flight
Slow it down, I hear now, but no one said it
There's no one there, I reach to turn out the light
It's getting cold, I'm getting old, I'm getting bitter
And I'll be waiting for someone who feels alright
Someone like you, who to me, still feel alright

I'm still moving, I hope it doesn't show
Don't think I'll be back again, and I think you know
Look for me, in the warm places you'll go to
Don't think I'll be back again, and I think you know

I'm running out of ways to avoid inevitable ends
I've since stopped running, I'll go when I am sent
I hope it's not too brief or meaningless, or slow
Don't let it shock you, I don't read faces, but I think it's time to go
