Time and time again I knew what I was doing

Time and time again it just made things worse

It seems you see the most of what is really true when

You're stepping into your hearse

Only time can write a song that's really, really real

The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals

And when I want to write a song that says it all at once

Like time sublimely silences the wise

I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once

And splatter there between my lies

Only time can write a song that's really, really real

The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals

We are made of it and if we give submission

Among our chances there's a chance we can choose

And if uncertainty will give us that permission

Then it's impossible to lose

Only time can write a song that's really, really real

The best a man can say is how it's playing his feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
