Time Lyrics
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
Time
I wish we could rewind
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 war
Tell me how it feels
Dreaming without a future
Have a little cry
Each moment gets us closer
To saying goodbye
Keeps getting closer
To the little hand
All good things
Come to an end
And turn around again

Sorry, but these lyrics are missing the outro of the song: "Smoking on a cigarette, my six pack right beside me", which added to "tell me how it feels dreaming without a future" and "we all are drowning, island of man, we are surrounded" make this one of the most blatantly queer coded songs in his catalogue. Like, this is not even subtext, it is obvious.
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 at the bottom now.
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go. I hope we survive because it's passing by, I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
We are the shore, the wave is rising We are the dust made out of diamonds When metal rusts, we are all drowning Island of man, we are surrounded
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go. I hope we survive because it's passing by, I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind) time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
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 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
Big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end and turn around again The big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go. I hope we survive because it's passing by, I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind) time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
I wish we could rewind
