Most days she tried not to think about it
Certainly she didn't want to kick up a stink about it
Stretched within the past present and future tension
All of time was beyond her comprehension
Looking down at her from every wall
Sometimes it didn't seem to change at all
Wore it like a handcuff on her wrist
Counting up the appointments that she missed
Went too fast when she wasn't aware
Went too slow when she was
Grabbing just a second here and there
When she asked why, time just said "because"
She longed for her own six minutes of sunshine
She longed to believe that it would happen - sometime
Maybe it was too much to ask
Far more than just a trivial task
She wanted to get into less of a state
Worrying about if she was early or late
It would be better if she couldn't be rushed
So she could take the time to adjust
Went too fast when she wasn't aware
Went too slow when she was
Grabbing just a millisecond here and there
When she asked why, time just said ...
Don't you think It's about time she did something about it?
Don't you think it's about time?
Went too fast when she wasn't aware
Went too slow when she was
Grabbing just a microsecond here and there
When she asked why, time just said "because"
Went too fast when she wasn't aware
Went too slow when she was
Grabbing just a nanosecond just here and there
When she asked why, time just said "because"
