[Verse 1]

Time is able to discern when long-term love has had its turn

And only then, we'll drop the curtain, let the credits start to roll

Her aura so imposing, had me in your bed and clothing

Luke-warm caffeine in the morning

Can your brother take me home?

When we were pulling strings to keep her around

Those were the days I didn't let it down

Though love will run deep like hurt runs out

[Chorus]

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest

[Refrain]

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us

Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

[Verse 2]

Time met us in December, made your name one to remember

Now though only here to cool the embers

She never will cease to console us

So as you look back to where we began

Loosening your grip a little on her hand

Keep it in mind, we owe her more

Than we could ever make apparent

[Chorus]

(Time) Barely on our hands, still loved us hard

Time barely on our hands

Still loved us hard, her care was constant

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms

She loved us hard and for the longest

And was nobody's but ours

[Bridge]

May part of me live on in you

Let your heart bleed and be an open wound

We know time will tend to

And as part of you lives on in me

I'm holding, broken to the same degree

Knowing time will mend me

[Refrain]

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us

Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

[Chorus]

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Know as she turns to depart

She loved us hard and for the longest

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

So know as she turns to depart

She loved us hard and for the longest

And was nobody's but ours
