Atlas & Oracle - Only Time Lyrics

This is the only time
I have to write this song
So I'll stay strong
All those other times
All those other lives feel so
So long ago

Am I even the same person, and what difference does it make?
Am I a version of a version, and why do I think this way?
Is it a part of being human, always hating what you're making?
And if so- how will we know
Where to begin?

All these animals inside my brain
We chained them up, now they can't be tamed
But can we let em go?
How will we know?

This is the only time we'll ever have
So stand up, hands up,
Everybody's running for their lives
And someone has a knife
And they're pretending not to know
They're reaching for the stars,
And taking some of ours,
They leave glitter on the bottom row

And everywhere I go, the people want to know-
Just how to be like them

This is the only time
(This is the only time)
The is the only time

This is the only time
(This is the only time)
The is the only time

Are you even the same person
And what difference would it make?
When I started going under, I'd forgotten how to swim
It'd been so long- where'd we go wrong?
(Where'd we begin?)
What took us so long?
(Can we beat them?)
And can we be strong - like we belong?
We belong!

This is the only time
(This is the only time)
The is the only time

This is the only time
(This is the only time)
The is the only time
