Lyrics

Taking down ten years of memories
Boxing up what used to be
Openhouse begins in hours
But there's some place you've got to be

Chorus1:
From painting doors
And masking lines
Your old place
In good time
In good time

Stack of papers on the table
Box of tissues by the door
Kind words from the court recorder
Spoken countless times before

Chorus2:
Given space
And given time
You'll be whole
In good time

Bridge:
There's so much to say
But there's nothing to talk about
Fight and the tears
Playing back in your head
You wanted to scream
But only a sigh came out
Is that when you knew
It was over for you?

His eyes fixed-firm on the carpet
Counsel exchange pleasantries
Everything has been decided
Is this just formality

Chorus 3:
Sign your name
And say goodbye
Wish him well
He'll be fine
In Good Time
