Time Lyrics

time's a teacher yesterday
you know I had nothing but time
why'd you have to go away
I never got to tell you goodbye
and time beats up on me
life is funny, life is strange
you know I'm just trying to get by
money, honey, buys you things
it can't buy a place in the sky
and time beats up on you
another year disappeared
where did it go?
people ask me
what's the time
I really don't know
I really don't know
I really don't
I really don't know
and time beats up on you
and time beats up on you
time beats up on
time beats up on
time beats up on
time beats up on
time beats up on me
beats up on you
beats up on you

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.

This is a pretty cool song. The way I see it, this song means, you better get things accomplished before time passes you by. "Another year dissappeared, where did it go?"
