Time (lyrics)

(1) Every day I can’t stop (1) falling
(1) And every chance I get to BREathe, I get pulled in
(1) Time is not something I (1) cherish
(1) Instead it’s just some dreaded BOUNdary that lies within1

(TIME is creeping up, time is creeping up)
Oh...
(TIME is creeping up, time is creeping up)2

We were just WASting time
Looking inSIDE ourselves
Now we’ve got BURied hearts
Within our SEP'rate worlds
And I feel SO alive
When I look IN your eyes
But now we’re OUT of time
We’re OUT of time3

(1) Every day I wake up (1) lonely
(1) But every night when I’m aSLEEP, I dream of you
(1) Can’t believe we wasted (1) all these years
(1) I’m letting go of all my FANtasies that don’t come true4

(TIME is creeping up, time is creeping up)
Oh...
(TIME is creeping up, time is creeping up)5

We were just WASting time
Looking inSIDE ourselves
Now we’ve got BURied hearts
Within our SEP'rate worlds
And I feel SO alive
When I look IN your eyes
But now we’re OUT of time
We’re OUT of time6

(1) We could have been going slow (1) by now
But our FEELings took forever to fi(1)gure out
And NOW that our paths have ceased (1) to cross
I CAN'T help but wonder what we have LOST
‘Cause7

We were just WASting time
Looking inSIDE ourselves
Now we’ve got BURied hearts
Within a (1) shattered world
And I felt so alive
When I looked INto your eyes
But now we’re OUT of time
We’re OUT of time
We’re OUT of time
We’re OUT of time8

(1) Every day I can’t stop
(1) Falling...

I'm Viola!
I chose "Wishes" as my option - I wish I hadn't wasted my chance with the guy in my piece!
Okay, so this is a song. Obviously. I've put the downbeats either in brackets like this: (1)...or I've put the syllable on the downbeat in ALL CAPS. It's pretty hard to do since I seem to be obsessed with syncopation, but bear with me!

        Heehee, no problem! I'm pretty sure I still have the video of you singing it, by the way

  • This is really good! There is a rhythm and it follows the format of an actual song. I would love to hear the music behind it. Keep writing!

    Cheers,
