A friend of mine she cries at night
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose
And it tears her up inside
She's scared
Scared to run out of time
See my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
Yeah it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Minds are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you
Oh
Scared to run out of time
When did the choices get so hard
So much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's pessimistic ways
Scared to run out of time
Just when I thought I had enough
And all my tears were shed
Oh no promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
Oh you came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise
I found love love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
You
Thought I'd given up
