Lyrics

Words by magne furuholmen
Music by magne furuholmen and martin terefe

You don't wanna hang around
Said you were leaving town for the summer
At least till sundown

Cuz time ain't gonna grind you down
Ain't gonna waste your life
Chasing rainbows like some clown

But who's gonna come with you tonight
Who's gonna to tell you it's alright?
Everything changes over time
Just like wine

Time ain't gonna hold you up
Ain't going to make it stop long enough to ease your mind
Ain't gonna make it last forever

And you..
Whatcha gonna do?
Walk it solitary?
So unnecessary
But it's alright
It's your birthright

Hey, hey everything's different down the line
Everything changes over time

Time ain't gonna make it worse
It's gonna make you start feeling better
Just like wine
We're gonna make it last forever

Hey you..
Whatcha gonna do?
Just be ordinary?
So unnecessary

But it's all right
Yes it's alright
It's your birthright
