Time Told Me

I just had the epiphany That if I've ever had to ask if she's into me She act indifferently And I repeat myself like I'm history I moved last month from the northwest to LA To take different advice from different people every day And write songs every day, most of which are painful With this brain full of ideas I think are great, they ain't tho I store them in posts in the notes of my payphone And let that shit sit for years until I say so And lately I want in with the new, not the same old So I poured them all into a verse, called it a day hold on I said I'd stay home but I'm not stable tonight It might be a problem but one that I'm able to fight I get by by remembering I've Never met a better teacher than time Time told me Everything I didn't want to know When I was lonely (oh so lonely) I'm gon' be There for me when my friends won't He told me slowly There's something I've been thinking I should say It's something that I've known from the start Baby, everything I touch breaks And you just let me touch your heart, okay Let's talk love, like, why do we chase it? Why do we pay for dates just to make it And hate where it takes us and break up so we can escape it Like, I used to want love now I just want her naked 'Cause the ones I always want, they always leave me feeling jaded Like these numbers on the Tok, they always seem to be inflated Like I'm writing all these verses No one's ever even heard them And by no one I mean you 'cause nobody is perfect That last line was cute, this one's for the person Looking at me do my thing but just to get assertive Saying I act a fool - but I could never feel stupid Looking at all the room that I've got for improvement Time told me Everything I didn't want to know When I was lonely (oh so lonely) I'm gon' be There for me when my friends won't He told me slowly Time told me Know Oh so lonely I'm gon' be Won't
