Marking Time Lyrics
Marking time
Through the day
Did you ever see the light
Inside my window
Marking my words
As I always do
Still find it hard enough to say
I can't hide oh
I can't hide oh
I can't hi-- de
I can't hide oh
I can't hide
I can't hi-- de
I can't hide oh
I can't hide oh
I can't hi-- de
Through the day
Did you ever see the light
Inside my window
As I always do
Still find it hard enough to say
I can't hide oh
I can't hi-- de
I can't hide
I can't hi-- de
I can't hide oh
I can't hi-- de

So chill late night drive.
this is probably my favorite otc song.
This is a very beautiful song. "Marking time" means marching in place and I've always loved how the rhythm and chord changes (or lack of them) really make the song sound like it's standing in place in that way.
As for the lyrics, the song seems to be about longing and vulnerability (I can't hide X 9).
