When The Time Comes Lyrics - The Classic Crime

When the time comes I put my feet in the water 

It's not as warm as I expect 

Will I go down like a preachers son? 

Or will I come back up like a world war vet? 

Will I watch my brothers die? 

Speak true words into their lives? 

Will I hold them close and tell them why 

The life they led was sacrifice? 

I don't know much 

But I know about love 

And how it hurts me to give up 

It hurts me to give up 

When the time comes I put my hands on the table 

They are examined for what they are 

A long life line that's been cut short 

By the road, the time, the battle scars 

What I would give to be back home 

Where the sunsets over the water 

Someone save me from these preachers sons 

Save me from their daughters 

Still I don't know much but 

But I know about love 

And how it hurts me to give up 

It hurts me to give up 

Why do we always say we're fine 

When it's obvious we lie 

Why don't we ever tell the truth 

What do we got to lose? 

And I don't know much 

But I know about love 

And how it hurts me to give up 

It hurts me to give up 

And I don't know much 

But I know about love 

And how it hurts me to give up 

It hurts me to give up
