Time Bomb Lyrics

I checked my pulse, said all my prayers
Walked a thousand miles, haven't gotten anywhere
The table's set, change is gonna come
I'm a patient man, but it's been too long

I'm waiting for something to happen
yeah I'm waiting for something to happen

I'm on that road, been driving fast
Keep my eyes straight and stay away from the past
I miss your face and the way you laugh
Remember me if I don't make it back

I'm waiting for something to happen
I'm waiting for something to happen
Anticipating that something will happen
I'm waiting for something good to happen

so now I see my own reflection staring back at me
And I'm traveling with no direction,
I'll follow faithfully

I'm waiting for something to happen
I'm waiting for something to happen

I checked my pulse, said all my prayers
Walked a thousand miles, haven't gotten anywhere
I wonder, yeah I wonder

The table's set, change is gonna come
I'm a patient man, but it's been too long
I wonder, yeah I wonder

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.

I love this song. I think it's about getting older and waiting for change and realizing you have to make the change. If you just live in the past and wait for things to change life will move by too quickly. I could be wrong though, I'm taking it very much at face value and usually OLP goes deeper than that. =)
