When It’s Time Lyrics by Green Day

American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording

2010

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Words get trapped in my mind
Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
But then I need your voice
As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me
So tell me when it's time to say I love you

[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong]
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you

[Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong]
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What was really on their mind, instead
They just hide away

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guard them and help along the way
Or tell them when it's time to say I love you
So tell me when it's time to say I love you
