Nick Of Time Songtext
von Lake Street Dive

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
But still he can't decide
Pretty soon she′ll have to choose
And it tears her up inside

She is scared
Scared to run out of time

I see my folks, they're getting on
And I watch their bodies change (mm)
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange (mm)
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through (mm)
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they′re staring back at you


You are scared
Scared to run out of time

When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake?
Life gets mighty precious
When there′s less of it to waste

(Mm) hmm, (mm) hmm
Scared to run out of time

Just when I thought I'd had enough
And all my tears were shed (mm)
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
You came along and showed me
I could leave it all behind (mm)
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise

I found love, darling
Love in the nick of time


Oh yeah, I found love
Oh yeah, in the nick of time
I found love, whoa
I found love, oh, in the nick of time
I found love, baby
Love in the nick of time

Ooh, yeah (mm)
Thought I′d given up
Oh yeah, but then I found love
I found love, baby, woo
Oh, in the nick of time
Oh yeah, I found love
Oh, in the nick of time
Thought I'd given up
