Is It Time - Hard Target

Something about…

Something about you…

There’s something about you…

And I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Yo

It was his high school crush, he only lived up the street

And he would see her when they passed in the hall

(When they passed in the hall)

Wanted to take her on a date, maybe even to prom

But when he saw her he never asked her at all

(He never asked her at all)

And when he saw her he was shy, couldn’t work up the nerve

He blended in with the crowd, so his purpose was served

He never saw a girl in life that was as perfect as her

Wishing moments were like the movies, but they certainly weren’t

But one day

They bumped into each other, it was fate

His heart began racing, hands started to shake

Cause there was something on his mind that he wanted to say

Wanted to tell her how he felt and thought she ought to relate

She looked up and said that «I know you, you’re that kid from that one class»

He tried to say something, but he just felt like a dumbass

Now he’s starring at the ground, and he took him a breath

But then he heard the bell ring and he looked up and said:

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

You can’t fight the way you feel

Cause all my life I thought it’s real

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

I waited all night for a chance to say

And there ain’t a damn thing to stand in my way

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?

A few years down the road, he could feel it with time

Cause no matter how hard he tried, she was still on his mind

Same moment in the hole, he can’t control it at all

Still regretting not fighting for that moment he lost

But he started a new life, got a job and house

And every now and then he dates, but never tries to go out

Cause there’s a remnant of her still lingering there

And as he walks into his job, he thinks he’s seeing her there

No wait

It is her, man, you gotta be kidding

The same girl he thinks about is right across from him sitting

But he’s a man now, he ain’t gonna give up this

No way he can now, this time he gets up quick

So he walks across the room and introduces himself

And she remembers who he is but he feels stupid as hell

And you can tell she’s interested, but she wouldn’t confess

So he glances at his watch and he looks up and says:

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

You can’t fight the way you feel

Cause all my life I thought it’s real

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

I waited all night for a chance to say

And there ain’t a damn thing to stand in my way

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?

You can hear wedding bells, people laughing

Holy matrimony

She found another man, it’s all over for him

Now he thinking in his head, what he wouldn’t give

What he might’ve said, no, what he could’ve did

He gets into his car then turns over the ignition

He’s driving down a road, but nowhere is where it gets him

He pulls up to a temple, parks his car in the front

He has no idea what he’s doing, but a part of him does

But then he walks into a church, hands starting to sweat

And everyone up in that room could hear his heart in his chest

Minutes are ticking, preacher says, «Dearly beloved-»

Then he yells out, «Please don’t finish the sentence!

I got something I wanna say, and it needs to be said!»

She walked up to him, took a step to his chest

(She took a step to his chest)

And he was at a loss for words, trying to catch him a breath

She grabbed his hand, kissed his lips, looked at him and said:

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

You can’t fight the way you feel

Cause all my life I thought it’s real

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?

Is it time to go?

I waited all night for a chance to say

And there ain’t a damn thing to stand in my way

But I keep thinking, I keep thinking

Is it time to go?
