There was time
It took time
(Impossible)
There is time
So much time
There is time
So much time

(Bridge)

And all of the kids
On the waterfront
Shinin
Done askin for
Your permission
Please understand

(Chorus)

We're all falterin
How'd I help with that?
If it's all or nothing
Then let me go
We're all faltering
Why'd I help with that?
If it's all or nothing
Then let me go

There was time
It took time
(Impossible)
There is time
So much time
There is time
So much time

(Bridge again)

(Chorus)
