I went to heaven so I could see my old friend
He said "It's been a long time, how've you been?"
So I told him about those days I spent in Hell
For my mistakes and wrong turns and those times I fell
He said "Life's about choices, it does no good not to feel"
"And if you only live in heaven, you'll never know what's real"
So I went up to that church and grabbed myself a knee
Wanted faith to be waiting at the bottom for me
But I know I cannot stay, and I know I cannot pray
It was time, it was time, it was time
Time to move along, time to move along
I went to hell just so I could see my old friend
He said "It's been a long time, where've you been?"
So I told him about those days I spent in Heaven
For my good deeds and right turns and those times I helped
He said "Life's about choices it does no good not to feel,"
"But if you've only lived in hell you'll know, you'll know what's real"
So I went down to that bar and grabbed myself a round
Wanted truth to be waiting at the bottom to be found
But I know I cannot stay, I know I walked away
It was time, it was time, it was time
Time to move along, time to move along
I came back home just so I could see where I've been
And that those mistakes and wrong turns have made me who I am
Now I know life's about choices it does no good not to feel
And if I only live in heaven, I'll never know what's real
So I went up to that stage and grabbed myself a song
Wanting all of my old friends to gather around and sing along
Because I know I cannot stay, we all must go away
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time
Time to move along, time to move along
Time to move along, time to move along
