[Verse 1: Brian]
I know that I, I can't believe
Just what the past has brought me
To the man I want to be
I know that we have had some times
That we can't forget the struggle
'Cause we have so far to go

[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
I know we've changed
But change can be so good
So, let's not forget
Why it's understood that...

[Chorus: All]
Time, look where we are
And what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
(Every little bit of lit with you)
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what may (come what may)

[Verse 2: Nick]
I remember when, mom used to say
That things are getting better
And you'll soon be on your way
Remember those days
When we would sing at the drop of a dime
Way back when nothing mattered
Mmmm, mmm, mm

[Pre-Chorus: Brian & AJ]
Oh, I know we've changed
But change can be so good
Oh, so let's not forget
Why it's understood that

[Chorus: All, AJ & Nick]
Time, look where we are
And what we've been through
(Look where we are)
Time, sharing our dreams
(Dreams, dreams, dreams, oh yeah)
Time, (goes on and on)
Goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (oh)
Come what may (come what may)

[Bridge: AJ & All]
So here we are (here we are)
And we'll always stay together
And through it all you know
We owe it all to you, you, you, you
Time goes on and stops

[Chorus: All, Brian, (Nick) & AJ]
Time, look where we are
And what we've been through, baby
Time, sharing our dreams
(I wanna let you know how much we care)
Time, goes on and on everyday (everyday)
(On and on and on and on)
Time is what it is (time is what it is)
Time, look where we are
And what we've been through, baby
Time, sharing our dreams (sharing our dreams)
(Every little bit of life)
Time, goes on and on everyday
Time is what it is
Come what may (come what may)

[Outro: Brian]
Time, goes on and on everyday
Time is what it is
Come what may, come what may

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
