Marshall Camp - If Time Were My Friend Lyrics

I guess I need time just to get away
Time will take ya by if you're on your own

I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
See the music make you smile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye oh)

If time were my friend
I'd buy her the wind
Fly her to France
Then fly back again
I'd relive my teens
Save all my friends
Ask for her back
Then watch her descend
My granddaddy died before I could cry
Run back with him and dream past the sky
My mom's dad would meet me
Dad's dad would see me
I would be free to not love the TV
Not love the drugs
Not love the easy
Not break her heart and not tell her no
Go back and love her
Build up her glow
Point her to Jesus
He'll love her more
Diamonds they sparkle against blackened cloth
The stars look the brightest when skies go to dark
If time were alone with me at my best
My worst delicates would place emphasis
My sister woulda never had to walk alone
My brother woulda called before he would go
Jump in that car
Drive past the lights
Knock up some fools
Switch up his life
Dee woulda stayed and chilled at the house
Tay would be safe and figured it out
Adam woulda never went to sleep that night
His momma woulda never had to miss his life
If time woulda called
Everything would be straight
The miles on my car would decrease by day
Smile at the world
Laugh at the pain
Smile seem to fade it's harder to trace
If all this were true
I'd prolly be confused
Joy without trials is difficult to fuse
So much mercy needed for sin
Grace without gratefulness never wins

I guess I need time just to get away
Time will take ya by if you're on your own

I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
See the music make you smile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone a while (Aye oh)

I guess I need time just to get away
Time will take ya by if you're on your own

I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone awhile (Aye, oh)
See the music make you smile (Aye, oh)
I don't want ya gone a while (Aye oh)
