Time Lyrics

There is something he's been meaning to tell you but he can't
On his lips it sits, I'm sure it's something he'll be waiting to tell you 'til he's dead
'Til then, it burns inside his head

Well, he ain't no liar, no, but he's surely spilled a few from prose lips
Well, he is a lover and he saves his love for you

You're so tongue in cheek lately
Can't you see that his heart is on his sleeve
While you keep on flirting with animosity?

I know I said it but I sure as hell don't mean it, baby
And you know me better than that
And I'm dying to explain myself to you
Ooh, these gentlemen are as old as rhyme

I watch a part of her die
In dark wooden eyes everytime that I
Am pulled away by life
Life pulls me away and if it's all the same to you I'd say
But I'm sorry I can't stray
From these promises I made to those dear

Me and all my friends are articulate but we're so ignorant
Me and my friends are pseudotalented and thus we're curious
Around the world, but me, myself, I'm curious about a girl
And I'm conflicted because I want to see the fruits of my labor grow into fruition
But I am in love

I know I said it but I sure as hell don't mean it, baby
And you know me better than that
And I'm dying to explain myself to you
I know I said it but I sure as hell don't mean it, baby
And you know me better than that
And I'm dying to explain myself to you before I'm dead

She turned her cheek to him and said
"There is something in the air, there's something in the air, there's something in the air
There's something in the air that's making every hair that I own stand up on my neck
Which is corked and to the left, while I soothe it with a breath
And oh dear, I fear that we're going through a change."

So please explain just exactly what I'm doing that's got you so down
I'm likened to a ghost in love
With consciousness at bay, ignore it as they say and I'll stray
And miss out on love

I know I said it but I sure as hell don't mean it, baby
And you know me better than that
And I'm dying to explain myself to you
It's time for change (it's time for change)
It's time for change (it's time for change)
It's time for change (yeah)
