I Need Time Lyrics

Time never was my best friend
To the end
It will try to catch me out
Even the light of sunrise hurts my eyes
Don't know what each day's about

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as
I can take my
Time to work out
Where I've gone
Somehow wrong
In the life that was so good

People shall tax
Me so fast
'Til I blast
I don't know a thing I should

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my
Time to recall happiness
Lest I lose it all

Time to start sorting
My brains
Into lanes
Simply must break through that wall

Now on the stage
Spinning plates
As it takes
And he finds he's lost them all

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my time

Time to sit back
Think it out
Round about
Without running everywhere

And if I get
In the way
They'll just say
"It's your life, why should we care?"

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my time

Another Kind of Love

Time never was my best friend
To the end 
It will try to catch me out
Even the light of sunrise hurts my eyes
Don't know what each day's about

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as 
I can take my
Time to work out
Where I've gone
Somehow wrong 
In the life that was so good

People shall tax
Me so fast
'Til I blast
I don't know a thing I should

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my
Time to recall happiness
Lest I lose it all

Time to start sorting
My brains
Into lanes 
Simply must break through that wall

Now on the stage
Spinning plates
As it takes 
And he finds he's lost them all

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my time

Time to sit back
Think it out
Round about
Without running everywhere

And if I get
In the way
They'll just say
"It's your life, why should we care?"

I need time, and in time
I'll catch up with the rest
I'll do my best as long as I can take my time

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.
