[Wax Tailor, Aloe Blacc - Time to Go lyrics]
Cheerful, the boy opended his eyes
His cheeks were hot
He wiped his tears and pulled his
Blanket up under his chin
The rainbow brightened and swooshed
From side to side
It doubled in size and overtook the room
Coloring the walls and bedspread
Ask me where I'm going
I'll tell you where I've been
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend
Ask me what I'm doing
I'll tell you I don't know
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go
Back when I was just a kid
I used to think the world was big
But really it ain't that big at all
(Not at all) foreign lands in far away
Until I learned the truth one day
In reality, the world's quite small
(World so small)
I wanted to sail across the sea
To find another place to be
Where I could live so happily
Well that would be the life for me
I wanted to fly the sky so vast
In a Jet-plane travelling fast
Looking out the looking glass
Watching the clouds go past
Ask me where I'm going
I'll tell you where I've been
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend
Ask me what I'm doing
I'll tell you I don't know
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go
I've been high and I've been low
Seems like everywhere I go
Is a place I could call home
(Home sweet home) yesterday is in my shadow
And today is a new battle
Tomorrow's the great unknown (Great unknown)
Got my tickets, bags are packed
Forcing my head no turning back
The smoke is white, the coal is black
The engine's pushing off this track
Ship is setting sail again
It's just me against the wind
Where loneliness is my old friend
Who comes to visit now and then
A time will come for all of us
To test that element of trust
To climb aboard that final bus
That turns our ashes into dust
Ask me where I'm going
I'll tell you where I've been
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend
(Ask me what I'm doing
I'll tell you I don't know
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go)
His cheeks were hot
He wiped his tears and pulled his
Blanket up under his chin
The rainbow brightened and swooshed
From side to side
It doubled in size and overtook the room
Coloring the walls and bedspread
Ask me where I'm going
I'll tell you where I've been
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend
Ask me what I'm doing
I'll tell you I don't know
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go
Back when I was just a kid
I used to think the world was big
But really it ain't that big at all
(Not at all) foreign lands in far away
Until I learned the truth one day
In reality, the world's quite small
(World so small)
I wanted to sail across the sea
To find another place to be
Where I could live so happily
Well that would be the life for me
I wanted to fly the sky so vast
In a Jet-plane travelling fast
Looking out the looking glass
Watching the clouds go past
Ask me where I'm going
I'll tell you where I've been
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend
Ask me what I'm doing
I'll tell you I don't know
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go
