Lyrics:

Two o’clock and there’s no more rock & roll playing here
The crowd is small, as I hear last call and I swallow down my last beer
The equipment is stored, no more songs to explore as the night draws to an end
As I stand on the stage, calling out that last page
I’m just searching for a friend

Now across that big room, amidst all of the gloom, I see her just standing there
With a look in her eye, she’s just wondering why, how could anybody care
Could she confide, all her truth held inside, for it never has been that way
As the moment grows near, she gives into her fear
She has nothing left to say

Just searching out gas, food and lodging
Check out all life’s shit I'm dodging
I’m just looking for that day
When I know I won’t have to say
It’s time to go, time to go
It’s time to go, time to go
So I hold out my hand, hope that you’ll understand, all the things on my mind
Am I making it clear, how i would like you near, can i borrow from you some time
For you’ll never know, how the story might go, for it’s never been wrote before
So just give it a chance, enjoy that final last dance
So you might love once more

Just searching out gas, food and lodging
Check out all life’s shit I’m dodging
I’m just looking for that day
When I know I won’t have to say
It’s time to go, time to go
It’s time to go, time to go
(repeat chorus)
