Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time and time again I knew what I was doing
Time and time again it just made things worse
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
You're stepping into your hearse
[Verse 2]
Only time can write a song that's really, really real
The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
[Verse 3]
And when I want to write a song that says it all at once
Like time sublimely silences the wise
I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once
And splatter there between my lies
[Verse 4]
Only time can write a song that's really, really real
The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
[Verse 5]
We are made of it and if we give submission
Among our chances there's a chance we can choose
And if uncertainty will give us that permission
Then it's impossible to lose
[Verse 6]
Only time can write a song that's really, really real
The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
