Almost Out of Time

ALMOST OUT OF TIME

https://jgkojak.bandcamp.com/track/almost-out-of-time


I'm almost out of time out of time

Since I first laid eyes on you

I been almost out of time out of time

Since you put me through what you put me through


I can disappear in an instant

And leave no trace of my memory

I can let it go if it costs me

A stain on my shrinking credibility


Yes I'm almost out of time out time

There's a few things I need to say to you

Yes I'm almost out of time out of time

I'm running out of words I have so few


Just can't remember the last place I saw you

Even now it's a distant memory

I can hold back standing in the window

I believe you've become a liability


I can disappear in an instant

And leave no trace of my memory

I can let it go if it costs me

A stain on my shrinking credibility


So

Yes I'm almost out of time

I'm almost out of time our of time

I'm almost out of time

In time if I only had a time machine

Comments

  • The repeats on "out of time" give it a unique identify, it's defining sound.

    The ending on "time machine" was surprising, and I like being surprised, that's probably my favorite part

    The mood almost feels too upbeat for the lyric (assuming I'm reading it correctly!) I can certainly imagine it being given a different treatment, a slower, sadder style. But that wouldn't necessarily make it better!

    Please pardon me. @jgkojak2 After listening to your song, I walked into my kitchen and started hearing the following playing in my head as I love the "time machine" at the very end. Actually, I recently wrote a song called "Time Machine". That said, I keep hearing for a Chorus:

    I'm almost out of time

    Out of time

    Need a time machine

    I'm almost out of time

    Out of time

    Need a time machine


    Since I first laid eyes on you

    All the heartache you put me through

    There's so much I need to say

    Feels like time's slipping away

    (just an idea for what a verse might look like with the Chorus)


    Anyway, just thought I'd share the positive effect your song had on me,

    I like that additional lyric and verse - I almost feel like it should come at the end after the time machine line and then repeat the chorus... hmmmm...
