Only Time (song)

=Additional Information= Song meaning as told by Jon: "When I was growing up I really loved Neil Young's 'Old Man' and that's my sort of version, even though it ended up a funky rock/doo-wop number. It's just self-advice". (Real Groove, September 1999) =Lyrics= Out on the search for something happening I lose where I begin Now that something means nothing A gone man set loose upon the street Moves on up to me, And says with feeling

When you can't find the world You can only find yourself And you can't break away 'Til you find your own way But it takes time You know it takes time

Gone man, I'm searching for a scene For something to believe But you make no sense to me I've no time for words from an old man He says "get 'em while you can 'Cause life burns up and then it's gone"

When you can't find the world You can only find yourself And you can't break away 'Til you find your own way Surround yourself with love but nothing else Then you can break away When you find your own way

And it's only time It’s only time It’s only time It’s only time It’s only time

Gone man, I'm searching for a scene For something to believe But you make no sense to me

When you can't find the world You can only find yourself And you can't break away 'Til you find your own way Surround yourself with love but nothing else Then you can break away When you find your own way

It’s only time (when you can't find the world) It’s only time (when you can't find the world) It’s only time (Surround yourself with enough of nothing else) It’s only time (when you can't find the world) It’s only time (you can only find yourself) It’s only time It’s only time It’s only time
