Time Told Me

lyrics

Lyrics:

I just had the epiphany
That if I’ve ever had to ask if she’s into me
She act indifferently
And I repeat myself like I’m history
I moved last month from the northwest to LA
To take different advice from different people every day
and write songs every day, most of which are painful
With this brain full of ideas I think are great, they ain’t tho
I store them in posts in the notes of my payphone
And let that shit sit for years until I say so
And lately I want in with the new, not the same old
So I poured them all into a verse, called it a day hold on
I said I’d stay home but I’m not stable tonight
It might be a problem but one that I’m able to fight
I get by by remembering I’ve
Never met a better teacher than time

Time told me
Everything I didn’t want to know
When I was lonely (oh so lonely)
I’m gon’ be
There for me when my friends won’t
He told me slowly

There’s something I’ve been thinking I should say
It’s something that I’ve known from the start
Baby, everything I touch breaks
And you just let me touch your heart, okay
Let’s talk love, like, why do we chase it?
Why do we pay for dates just to make it
And hate where it takes us and break up so we can escape it
Like, I used to want love now I just want her naked
‘Cause the ones I always want, they always leave me feeling jaded
Like these numbers on the Tok, they always seem to be inflated
Like I’m writing all these verses
No one’s ever even heard them
And by no one I mean you ‘cause nobody is perfect
That last line was cute, this one’s for the person
Looking at me do my thing but just to get assertive
Saying I act a fool - but I could never feel stupid
Looking at all the room that I’ve got for improvement

Time told me
Everything I didn’t want to know
When I was lonely (oh so lonely)
I’m gon’ be
There for me when my friends won’t
He told me slowly

Time told me
Know
Oh so lonely
I’m gon’ be
Won’t
