didn't i just see your face
last time that i was here
weren't you standing in that place
was it you or me that disappeared
did you tell me about your problem
did i offer a solution
maybe i could help you out
in the coming revolution

CHORUS:
but i don't understand
when i reach for your hand
why i can't hold it long
but you're hurting inside
so i'll get off this ride
cause i don't want to be
just another horse on the merry go round
i'm starting to see another course
well it's time i got down

didn't know when i bought this ticket
to ride life's carousel
that i would be more than a minute
gone away from the One i love so well
i was drawn to the main attraction
mesmerized by it's appeal
now it's all become distraction
how can i return to what is real

CHORUS

time i got down
time i got down
