IT'S TIME TO GO
RAi Soulmusic
[Intro – distant piano, heartbeat]
Sirens somewhere in the night,
Blue lights painting everything white.
I don't remember what I've done,
I only know there's nowhere left to run.
[Verse 1]
A thousand shadows know my name,
Every street repeats my shame.
Faces I have never seen
Haunt me like a broken dream.
Helicopters in the sky,
No more places left to hide.
Hands are shaking, walls close in,
How did this nightmare even begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sirens lose their sound,
Raindrops freeze above the ground.
Every light becomes a glow...
And someone whispers:
"It's time to go."
[Chorus]
Take me somewhere I've never been,
Beyond the life that I've been living in.
Beyond the choices, beyond the pain,
Somewhere I can breathe again.
If there's another road somehow,
Don't tell me where — just take me now.
Put your hand upon my soul...
And tell me,
"It's time to go."
[Verse 2]
You were standing next to me,
Like you'd stepped through eternity.
One touch and somehow I could see
A thousand years of memory.
You came from somewhere far ahead,
Where time was something you could bend.
No machine, no flashing light,
Just your hand...
And we were gone that night.
[Build]
Then suddenly the world returned,
Same old streets, same stars still burned.
Same exact place, the same cold air...
But no one else was there.
No guns.
No lights.
No helicopters in the sky.
And for the first time...
I understood why.
[Chorus – bigger]
You took me somewhere I'd never been,
To another life beneath my skin.
No blood upon these hands of mine,
No broken past, no wasted time.
I searched my memories one by one,
But all the things I'd done were gone.
And for the first time I could know...
What it feels like...
To let it go.
[Bridge – music drops almost completely]
Was it the future?
Was it a dream?
Was that world more real
Than the one I've always seen?
Maybe every life we know
Is just one path among the roads.
Maybe somewhere next to mine
Another me is doing fine.
And maybe time...
doesn't really flow.
[Final Chorus – euphoric]
So take me where the timelines meet,
Where yesterday can't follow me.
Where every ending opens wide
Into another side.
No more running, no disguise,
I feel the universe inside.
For one eternal moment I know...
I'm free.
I'm finally free.
[Outro – only piano]
Morning light comes through my room,
And slowly takes me from you.
I reach beside me...
You're not there.
And somehow that's the hardest part
Of waking from a world we shared.
But somewhere deep inside I know...
If time should ever stop again,
I'll feel your hand upon my shoulder...
And hear you say,
"It's time to go."
