Time [Instrumental] Lyrics

Linda, pretty one
Charming, brilliant, and wise
A wonderful friend
Precious in her family's eyes
If you look me up
I won't like what you find
I know it's selfish to hate myself
But I'm that kind
Bears a name that's bent out of shape
Rag doll your arms
They fall down
Oh I'm barely breathing now
And now I see
I'm just a ghost passing by
Renting this body
Only a visitor in my
My mind
Oh I'm living on borrowed time
Roses bloom
For a month or so
Suddenly you're wrinkling
Who knows where the time goes?
I have no patience
I jump from A to Z
Can't build lives on lies
So try to define this mystery
Why are we?
Bears a name
That's bent out of shape
Rag doll your arms
They fall down
Oh I'm barely breathing now
And now I see
I'm just a ghost passing by
Renting this body
Only a visitor in my
My mind
Oh I'm living on borrowed time
There's no reason
There's no rhyme
I'm living on borrowed time
There's no reason
There's no rhyme

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.
