Time and time again I knew what I was doing and |
|
Time and time again I 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 most a man can do is say the way its playing 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 whys |
|
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 most a man can do is say the way its playing 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 we take it, by uncertainty's permission |
|
Then it's impossible to lose |
|
Only time can write a song that's really really real |
|
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels |
|
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals |
