Panic! Lyrics by Half Past Two

It’s About Time

2009

[Chorus]
They told me that you had died
But it was something I had to see with my own eyes
Stealing away into the darkness
Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow
The place we danced still hot with sweat
And the memories so fresh I can’t get over it
How could they say that you were long gone
You keep the beat and you live on

[verse 1]
These shoes have seen their fair share
Of nights looking for a place we ought to be
It's not the destination
No it's the company
Days of our youth spent sleeping in with curtains drawn
In places far away from home
One day we'll look back on these times and realize
We forgot how it felt to be alone

[pre-Chorus]
I can't even believe it
You were way too young to go

[verse 2]
You left me with these questions
How long until the days of youth run out
It's not the years that go by
But the times you spent in doubt
Skirting responsibilities as long as we can
With all the things we couldn’t do
Running ahead of time and never looking back
Until we saw they caught you too

[pre-Chorus]
I can't even believe it
All the things we didn’t know

[Chorus]
They told me that you had died
But it was something I had to see with my own eyes
Stealing away into the darkness
Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow
The place we danced still hot with sweat
And the memories so fresh I can’t get over it
How could they say that you were long gone
You keep the beat and you live on

[bridge]
We’re living in the present
With nothing for the past
A memory and a lifetime
The days are getting longer
The nights are growing cold
But still the years just roll by
You could have asked and we would have given
The help to get you through

[Chorus]
They told me that you had died
But it was something I had to see with my own eyes
Stealing away into the darkness
Borrowed friends and a purpose in tow
The place we danced still hot with sweat
And the memories so fresh I can’t get over it
How could they say that you were long gone
You keep the beat and you live on
