Time likes to flirt with me He knows I'm watching as he passes He is merciless with my lust He won't give me the satisfaction of glancing back my way I can't seem to get enough of the way he tastes It's like I'm always watching him Watching him walk away It's true Time will never stop for me And he might not even be there when I need him at the end But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me Don't give up on me I reach for him and he pushes away It seems just when I feel him in my hands he's tempted to release Please hold onto me When he is not always so cautious I can see he cares Sometimes he visits on long nights when I'm lonely He might be inconsistent But at least he's faithful I know he'll always be back In the meantime I can handle this whirlwind life It's true time will never stop for me And he might not even be there when I need him at the end But I will stand by this man until he gives up on me Don't give up on me I reach for him and he pushes away It seems just when I feel him in my hands he's tempted to release Please hold onto me He leaves a note when he sneaks away In the middle of the night It's these mornings I wish he would protect me from the world There is no greater strength than time Well he can't be bothered when he's busy He's gone more often lately and for longer I have always wanted the unattainable But it's not like me to depend so on a man
