Have you heard the time has come?
The time to make decisions, the time to move on
So we make one step, two steps, walking uphill
There is no more 'we' in weekend,
All contracts have been fulfilled

Have you heard the time is here?
The orchestra has stopped playing except for one single violin
But nobody's going to listen, they've all left their seats
Aiming for the coat check,
Blame it on the pianist

Here we go again,
Arguing without any arguments,
Rather find new enemies
Than stick to old friends

Have you heard the time has come?
The time to make a bet and wager ten to one
Lose the house, lose the car, lose everything you've ever had
Call your answering machine
And tell things you don't want to forget

Have you heard the time is here?
The time to check the newspapers for a flat with separate keys
It's that dead or alive thing again
Meet new people at new parties,
Learn how to make new friends

Have you heard the time has come?
The time you spend your evenings at the airport
Watching couples torn apart by the distance
Smiling for a moment,
So long and best wishes

Distance makes the heart grow fonder

Have you heard the time is here?
The time you spend your days alone in your apartment
Watching tv, checking emails, twenty times a day
Still nobody's going to contact you
To find out how you feel

Distance makes the heart grow fonder
