Time Takes Over † by bktandem

Here is the latest version of a song I originally wrote in October 1988—and it's the first full song with complete lyrics that I ever wrote. The music had been around for a couple of months before I wrote the lyrics, which were inspired by a co-worker's tales of how he missed another former co-worker, who had gone back to college (and was the sister of a high school classmate of mine). The dated a bit that summer and he probably thought there was more to it than she did. But during the course of our talks, he actually said "time just takes over." The guy had a very primitive way of thinking, but he was funny and these talks showed me another side to him. When I was writing lyrics for this, the words "time takes over" came to mind so I used those conversations as the basis for the song.

† - Originally written and arranged by Brian Kelley, but performed by TMC+The New Generation (with Christian Beach and Tariq Mohammed).
