Explicació
When you use the phrases "It is time," "It is high time" or "It is about time" followed by a subject (in this case, "you"), you must use the Past Simple tense of the verb.
Even though the sentence refers to the present or future, we use the past tense to indicate that the action is overdue or should have happened already. This is known as the unreal past or the subjunctive mood.
