Couplet 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

Refrain

I think it’s time
To move on
I think it’s time
To move on

Couplet 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

Refrain

I think it’s time
To move on
I think it’s time
To move on

Couplet 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

Refrain

I think it’s time
To move on
I think it’s time
To move on

Couplet 4

I got the call in Kansas
While I was on the road
Your grandmas only got
A couple minutes till she goes
Mum held up the phone
So I could say my last goodbye
And somewhere in the silence she replied

Refrain

I think it’s time
To move on
I think it’s time
To move on
