Lyrics
Verse 1
A ring around an oak tree
A circle round the sun
Time is like some rascal kid
Who knocks the door and runs
Nothing lasts forever and I couldn't tell you why
But every night the sun slips through the sky
Singing I think it's time to move on
I think it's time to move on
Verse 2
Way back when in high school
I tripped and fell in love
We gave each other everything, in retrospect too much
Thought it'd last forever, it don't always work like that
Looking back, I'm sure glad that we said, honey
Chorus
I think it's time to move on
I think it's time to move on
Verse 3
The steeples and the stages
Bus calls and cheap hotels
A decade of my life
And man I think I did it well
Oh it was mostly heaven
But it's hard to keep out hell
Is it Jesus, or the devil, or myself
Singing
Chorus
I think it's time to move on
I think it's time to move on
Bridge
I got the call in Kansas while I was on the road
Your grandma's only got a couple minutes till she goes
Mum held the phone up so I could say my last goodbye
And somewhere in the silence she replied
Outro
I think it's time to move on
I think it's time to move on
