[Verse 1]
Since that day when we first spoke on the telephone
It's hard not to see where this might go
I felt it way back then, you know I feel it still
And if it's up to me, you know I always will
But you're gonna take that job and then we'll figure it out
'Cause life ain't gonna wait, we gotta live it now

[Chorus]
We're running out of time, my love
We're running out of time, my love
The years keep rolling on like a freight train

[Verse 2]
You keep writing books and I'll keep playing the guitar
'Cause it seems to somehow work for us, so far
And I know you miss your mum, sure as hell I miss my dad
But now we gotta live the life that they can never have

[Chorus]
We're running out of time, my love
We're running out of time, my love
The years keep flying by like a jet plane
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time

[Verse 3]
The cancer went away, but then it came right back
Now I'm staring in the mirror, but I don't know who I'm looking at
We saw the thousand sunsets we said that we were gonna see
Just give me one more before surrendering

[Chorus]
We're running out of time, my love
We're running out of time, my love
The years have disappeared like a hurricane
We're running out of time, my love
We're running out of time, my love
All in all in all, you know I'd do it again

[Outro]
We're running out of time, my love
We're running out of time, my love
But is time the open door or is it the cage?
