Time is Everything

I'd be lying if I told you
that thought ain't ever crossed my mind
Of you calling from some backroom
a jukebox playing you saying everything is fine
Well dreaming ain't the same
since these thoughts started turning in my head
Of leaving and of crying
of me grieving and you lying
I know I knew from every word you ever said

You've been down in Asheville
fooling 'round dusk 'til dawn
I've been tossing and turning
restless all night long
You've been trying to tell me
no one knows what the years will bring
I've been trying to tell you
Time is everything

Well we've been to the east
and we've been all over the west
Past towns of broken memories
faded love, and words I wish you'd never said
Well who'd have thought
you'd find someone to bring you so low
Now every word's a trial
every step another mile
Ain't talking straight enough for me to ever know

You've been down in Asheville
fooling 'round dusk 'til dawn
I've been tossing and turning
restless all night long
You've been trying to tell me
no one knows what the years will bring
I've been trying to tell you
Time is everything

This was born and it'll die
with that house at the end of the block
Where you first held me tight
then held another for a night
You crossed lines but they were just drawn here in chalk

You've been down in Asheville
fooling 'round dusk 'til dawn
I've been tossing and turning
restless all night long
You've been trying to tell me
no one knows what the years will bring
I've been trying to tell you
Time is everything
Time is everything
