The Time Has Come

[Verse 1]

The time has come to speak of many things

Of jacks and queens and kings, ah

I bared my wrists and promised to begin

But you cut the blade straight in, ah

Try hard, my love, do you hear the distant strings?

Please remember what this means, ah

[Chorus]

Did I come back for all of this?

It seems absurd somehow...

With one well-placed flick of the wrist

You've really done it now...

All of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision

[Verse 2]

The time has come for things to come undone

We should not have begun, ah

At last I felt a numbness overcome

And now you turn and run, ah

The time has come to take me in your arms

And touch these fragile scars, ah!

[Chorus]

You have the choice now so decide

If you want in or out

There is too much left for us to try

You can't just give up now

[Verse 3]

The time has come to speak of many things

Of jacks and queens and kings, ah

It took that cut to bring me back to life

They're bleeding, they're frightened but I hold out both my hands

No one in the world will ever touch me there again
