Time Was Lyrics

Time was... when we got along
Time was... when we got along
It's too bad, that feeling's gone

Time was... when we could agree
Time was... when we could agree
That time's gone, now you find fault with me

I've got time, things will work out fine

Trouble... will not wreck my life
Trouble... will not wreck my life
Someday you'll like, what I'm putting down

best song.

@taylor_wayman I read in Alan's biography that he composed this song due to dissension within the band behind the scenes. The infighting upset Alan. He sang about his sadness remembering how it was when everyone got along.

i agree taylor! basically alan telling a tale of how a romance grew sour and for better or for worse nothing he does is right any more. he's staying true to himself though so she can love it or leave it. he's got time...things will work out fine.
