Time is a Three-Eyed Monster

Time is a three-eyed monster
and it's claws are tearing down everything I call real
love is a four-letter word
and the weight of it's meaning is breaking my bones
sorry is a five-fingered fist
and it's pounding enormous craters into my heart
I'm sorry

Time is a six-gun bullet
and there's holes in the logic of everything that I feel
love is a seven-eleven store
and I never have enough change for the payphone
sorry is an eightball in the pocket
and I'm paying up for everything I did from the start
I'm sorry

and I'm out of time

and still I'm in love
yeah still I'm in love
with you

I'm sorry
