I can't explain
Can't quite put my finger on it
The difference that makes us so different
We've said everything
Our words only betrayed us
Nothing is left nothing was left unsaid

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine

You cover yourself you cover your skin
Your cover yourself like you cover your sins
Please untie my hands
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine

Will you be there
To catch when I stumble when I fall
When I fall'
It's so very clear
You left me when I had no one at all
No one at all

Who will be there
To catch me, to catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
It's so very clear
You left me with no one at all
No one at all

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine

No friend of mine
Time, you're no friend of mine
No friend of mine
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine

The pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on

Time
Time you're no friend of mine

    lyrics are a little off.

    think its about asking for a second chance and looking for who truly believes in him

    its not "in time" its "hey time" so im not sure what it means great song i think it may be talking bout he is stuck lost in time and he wants to move on "im stuck the second hand wont move" and he isnt friends with time because he is lost in it and what he could of done and said in the past of time "its about time i speak my mind"

    My Interpretation

    this song to me is about how "time" effects our lives... and in terms of relationships... how in "time" there could be resolve... but in this instance... the time is up... that person doesn't exist anymore... and its "time" to move on... boy I have had this most recently in my life... sometimes "time" is on your side... and sometimes its just not

    My Interpretation

    "Time, you're no friend of mine." Powerful song. This is talking about how time robs us in life. Stapp spent years as an alcoholic. Although he's sober, he's saying that time has robbed him and he has no time to make those mistakes again.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
