Nothing But Time Lyrics

Steal once, pay twice
Advice to heed
I won't, I might

Advice to heed
Steal once, pay twice
Advice to heed
I won't, I might

Advice to heed

Steal once, pay twice
Advice to heed
I won't, I might

Advice to heed
Steal once, pay twice
Advice to heed
I won't, I might

(Advice to heed)
We always said that love was not enough
Always on the move
(Advice to heed)
And even though we long to shut it up
We could never choose
(Advice to heed)
And now we know there's nothing awaiting us
Better than the truth

(Advice to heed)
I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time, so the future is mine
(Advice to heed)
I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time, so the future is mine
(Advice to heed)
I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time, so the future is mine

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.
