time

4 months ago

i was in tekong. exact location?
i was in San Yong Kong camp area in Pulau Tekong.
on my stretcher like bed. funny that the place had bunks for us
Transport Supervisors and Supply Supervisors.
we were having our exercise.
codename?
Exercise Sacred Odyssey. and the week after would be Exercise Molar.

so i was on my uncomfy bed. with boots on. uniform on.
rifle in the cupboard. and then a perfect melody came to mind.
and then i wrote lyrics to the song mentally.
got it all memorised.

went back to singapore, told dhana about it while we were in the studio recording Whoa.
recorded a brief draft. and then poof.
he disappeared for a while. we all got busy with our lives.
and last thing i heard, he went to Sri Lanka and got it produced.

and so ya.

TIME
verse 1
time,
still you look so captivating
i can barely notice signs of your wear

and time,
took so long for you to heal me
girl i can swear that i still
feel you're right there

pre-hook
but i'm now half the man
i once you used to be
(na na na na na na na
adam left this 2 stanzas blank for more 4months already)

hook
it's been so long since 2003
everybody's words filled with pleasantry
got my world filled with fantasy
all screwed up when girl you tripped out on me

i lost you to time, time
blame it all on time, time


verse 2
so many words i could say just to touch you
to feel you
we were close as close we could be
and it was you, who'd left me

pre-hook2
no more tears, no more crying
that's what you promised when your promise's not there
no more fears, no more lying
but it all happened in 2003
