TIME [Intro: distant, overlapping] (me time mine) (mine time time) [Verse 1: restrained] I had time. Time had me. I spent time. Time spent me. I kept time. Time kept moving. I lost time. Time lost nothing. [Refrain] Time after time, I said, “Next time.” Now there is no next. Only time. Only time. [Verse 2: intimate] You were mine for a time. I was yours at the wrong time. We made time. Then time made distance. You left. Time stayed. [Pause] Still. [Refrain: returning] Time after time, I said, “Next time.” Now there is no next. Only time. Only time. [Bridge: questions, gradually building] What is left when you leave? What is right when time is wrong? I was late to what I had. Now I have what is gone. [Final Verse: fullest delivery] Time after time. Mine after mine. I spent my life saving time. Time never saved me. [Outro: bare] I had time. Time had me. Now time has time. And I... have me.
