Lyrics

That's one step farther than I can go
Two more pounds than I can tote
Three more words & we'll come to blows
Four, now, & it's time to go

One glance & that's all it takes
Two more seconds & your heart breaks
Three rounds swinging like heavyweights
Four, give me something my head aches

One minute we're the best of friends
Two days in hell is what we call weekends
Three Hail Mary's & a Do Not Send
Forever doesn't give us time to mend

One step farther than I can go
Two more pounds than I can tote
Three more words & we'll come to blows
Four, now, & it's time to go

Time to Go
