Lyrics
Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We don't talk
Like we used to
The perfect present
Is no longer the future
And I can't find it
Trust me I looked around
Seems like all the sand
Is in the bottom now
We gotta know
Know when to fight
Know when to hold
And when to let it go
I hope we survive
Cause it's passing by
I won't be surprised
If it all up and blows
I wish we could rewind
Time
I wish we could rewind
We are the shore
The wave is rising
We are the dust
Made out of diamonds
Where metal rusts
We all are drowning
Island of man
We are surrounded
Make a little love
Make a little war
Tell me how it feels
Dreaming without a future
Have a little laugh
Have a little cry
Each moment gets us closer
To saying goodbye
The big hand
Keeps getting closer
To the little hand
All good things
Come to an end
And turn around again
And turn around again
