Somewhere in the city you make your way home
Hurtling through darkness towards, I don't know
We make our own maps that fade as we go
The same little places we to and fro

A tiny club I've not been to before or since
That night you were there
Exchanging shy glances
Reaching a fork in our roads and the question inherently posed

Is it that time already?
Is that it?
Are we so tied up that we can't stray
From the road that's laid out?
Straight and narrow
The never ending countdown to more of the same again
Is that it?
Are we so tied up
That we can't stray from the road that's laid out?
Straight and narrow.
The never ending countdown
To more of the same. Is it that time already?

Behind one of these lights have you made it your own?
Are you settling in for the night or were you just passing through
We're all travelling in parallel
Our eyes barely meet

And as the night spills over into the morning
And the hangovers rub shoulders with the yawning commuters
I lose my train of thought
Do I ever cross your mind?

Is it that time already?
Is that it?
Are we so tied up that we can't stray
From the road that's laid out?
Straight and narrow
The never ending countdown to more of the same again
Is that it?
Are we so tied up
That we can't stray from the road that's laid out?
Straight and narrow.
The never ending countdown
To more of the same. Is it that time already?

Is that time already?
