From the recording Darkness & Light
Lyrics
[verse 1]
You spend your whole life wandering
Thinking time is on your side
Exploring different pathways
Just along for the ride
[verse 2]
But everything has a beginning
And all things will have an end
Tell me how long is a piece of string
On what foundation do you depend?
[pre chorus]
Nothing lasts forever
Do you think time is on your side?
[chorus]
Gods gonna shut the door
He’s gonna shut the door (He’s gonna shut the door)
He’ll give you a chance
Before it rains before it pours (before it pours)
But he’s gonna shut the door
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
He’s gonna shut the door
[bridge]
Nothing lasts forever
Tomorrow holds no guarantees
Won’t last forever
Tomorrow holds no guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
[guitar solo]
[pre chorus]
Nothing lasts forever
Do you think time is on your side?
[chorus]
Gods gonna shut the door
He’s gonna shut the door (He’s gonna shut the door)
He’ll give you a chance
Before it rains before it pours (before it pours)
But he’s gonna shut the door
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
He’s gonna shut the door
[verse 2]
When the trumpet sounds
And judgement calls
There’ll be no escape
He will shut the door
Tick tock the clock is ticking
The invitation stands
Make a choice while there’s still time
The choice is in your hands
[pre chorus]
Nothing lasts forever
Do you think time is on your side?
[chorus]
Gods gonna shut the door
He’s gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
He’ll give you a chance
Before it rains before it pours (before it pours)
But he’s gonna shut the door
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
Gonna shut the door (Gonna shut the door)
He’s gonna shut the door
[bridge]
Nothing lasts forever
Tomorrow holds no guarantees
Won’t last forever
Tomorrow holds no guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
No guarantees
[chorus]
Gods gonna shut the door
Gonna shut the door
The door
Gonna shut the door
Gonna shut the door
He’s gonna shut the door
It’s not going to last forever
Do you think time is on your side
