Lyrics
CROSS ROADS / IS THIS THE TIME?
Choices stare me in the face
And I’m too young to choose
Different roads to win the race
And such a lot to lose…
We’re all looking for the answers
We’re all trying to find our way
And though my mind is set on leaving
My heart still wants to stay…
So…is this the time I’ve waited for?
Can this be all, or is there more?
Is this the time, must I
Pass through that door?
Is this the time I’ve waited for…
My five years summer’s turned to fall-
And will there be no tears at all?
Will I be missed? Will you
Even know that I’ve gone?
Will I be just one more passer-on?
Is this the time for parting songs?
We’ve known each other for so long:
Are you gonna cry, or are you-
Are you gonna be strong?
Do we say Goodbye, or just So Long?
And, do you remember Atom Bombs?
And toilet doors?
And smoldering knees?
And plans of floors?
And dotting trees?
And sleepless nights?
And falling in love?
And unmade beds?
And that’s enough
To make me cry,
Because I find
Because I find
That I’m too young
For memories…
Even these… even these…
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Oh, do you remember…
(BRIDGE)
And, do you remember Atom Bombs?
And toilet doors?
And smoldering knees?
And plans of floors?
And dotting trees?
And sleepless nights?
And falling in love?
And unmade beds?
And that’s enough
To make me cry,
Because I find
Because I find
That I’m too young
For memories…
Even these… even these…
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Oh, do you remember…
