Time Lyrics

Home home sweet home
I'm going home
To where she waits
To share love with me yeah

I'm the kind of guy
Who loves to mess around
Know a lot of women
But they don't fill my heart
With love completely free
Ooh I love you I really do

Hold me hold me close completely free yeah
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is a pretty good example for the style of tracks and the “watery” element on the album: Music and voices come and go, something very deep goes on beyond the water's surface. The song starts with the piano, the mournful voice of Dennis Wilson, who sings never finding real love. He starts though with a woman who waits at home for him. She shall hold him. But I wondered: Why is this song called “time”? I think – and that’s the deeper part here – that even this woman can’t give him what he needs to find real happiness. In a spooky way it seems to mirror Dennis Wilsons lived life. Maybe some people just can’t find it. While we think these ones have everything, they’re, in a very specific and subject-related only way, positioned in the world and just can’t find an alternate way to see it. Then they comes the horns, also in a very haunting way, and the chords, and the songs goes on, fades out, with heavy blasts. We don’t know how the story ends, but it’ll do with a bang.
