[Verse 1]
The party's over, your time is up
You've had your last pointless teardrop washed down in that broken coffee cup
This magic moment concludes when that cigarette ends
Did you get what you wanted? Well, I suppose that depends
Well, I suppose that depends
[Chorus]
If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time
It's time, it's time, it's time
You must see it's time that you went, you must see it's time that you went
[Verse 2]
Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake
Now it seems more like a sentence or something you always had to fake
This magic moment concludes when they turn out the light
It's not the days when you leave me but all I fear are the nights
But all I fear are the nights
[Chorus]
If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It's time, it's time, it is time, it's time
It's time, it's time, it's time
You must see it's time that you went, you must see it's time that you went
[Bridge]
You told the same joke to me too many times
I wish that someone would hit it just before you reach
Just before you reach, just before you reach the punchline
[Verse 3]
The party's over, time we broke up
It always seemed like a bad dream, one where I finally woke up
This magic moment concluding our mutual fate
But if you do have to leave me, who will I have left to hate?
Who will I have left to hate?
[Chorus]
If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It's time, it's time, doo, doo, doo, it's time, it's time
It's time, it's time, it's time
You must see it's time that you went, you must see it's time that you went
