lyrics

Couldn’t find time to write one page
So I wrote ten.
Couldn’t find time to love myself
So I loved you instead.
Couldn’t find time to ease my mind
And know where I should be.
Oh, I couldn’t find time
But time found me.

Time found me with my walls and my cupboards bare
Time found me in a state of disrepair
Oh, we hurry
Oh, we worry
Oh, we work.
And when the last sand falls
And our maker calls
We get what we deserve.

Couldn’t find time to find my way
So I went theirs’.
Was killing some time in a stranger’s maze
Then it took years.
I walked in the room and felt it move
Oh, I heard the melody
It went: “I couldn’t find time
Oh, I couldn’t find time..”

But time found me as I worked out my 10-year-plan
Time found me with a wide world in my hands.
Oh, we hurry
Oh, we worry
Oh, we work.
then the final boss
Of love and loss
Surveys the cost
And we find out what it was worth.

It found me
Mmmmmmmmmm time found me
Like a lark, she flew
through clouds and centuries.
I hope we live so long, we can learn how to lose our minds
And after all
We’ve still got time.
