I spend my time makin' money
And that money payin' bills
Just to wind up too damn tired
From the same ol' shit, I feel.
Yeah I saw you at the lobby
Was too sick to ask your name
But I'd call you if I knew you
To see if you feel the same.
Only time. Yeah, only time
Has got me in its arms.
Because I've seen your face in mirrors
While I'm busy brushing teeth
And I've smelled the sweetness on your skin
While I'm praying on my knees
And I've told you that I missed you
On a long, long car ride home
Just to wake up in a night sweat
In a cold dark room alone.
Yeah, only time. Only time
Has got me in its arms.
I been busy making reasons
I got no one else to blame
'Cause they're really just excuses
Of why I don't know your name.
I been chasin' my own sadness
I been standin' in the rain
Feeling drowned inside my own self
And there's no one else to blame.
Holding flowers; they're all wilted
And I put them by a grave
As I try to leave behind me
A love that can't be tamed.
Only time. Yeah, only time
Has got me in its arms.
Because I've seen your face in mirrors
While I'm busy brushing teeth
And I've smelled the sweetness on your skin
While I'm praying on my knees
And I've told you that I missed you
On a long, long car ride home
Just to wake up in a night sweat
In a cold dark room alone.
Yeah, only time. Only time
Has got me in its arms.
