I wanna save the world
But I can hardly save myself
So I keep holding on
And it keeps holding on as well
I wanna be somebody
But I can hardly be myself
How can I be someone
If I never live to tell
Gonna swing my hammer
While the iron's hot
And I may have nothing
But it's all I've got
I've got no time to pretend
Time is what you make it
Better do what you can...
I understand...
Time on my hands
I wanna free somebody
But freedom don't come easy
How can I free someone
If I don't know what it means?
I wanna save the world
Hide it high up on a shelf
Someplace where nobody can find it
I'll just keep it to myself
(Chorus)
Time moves on and forgets your name
Right or wrong it's all the same
Daylight burns and a year goes by
Whole world turns in the blink of an eye
Only want somebody you can blame
I understand... Time on my hands
(Chorus)
But I can hardly save myself
So I keep holding on
And it keeps holding on as well
I wanna be somebody
But I can hardly be myself
How can I be someone
If I never live to tell
Gonna swing my hammer
While the iron's hot
And I may have nothing
But it's all I've got
I've got no time to pretend
Time is what you make it
Better do what you can...
I understand...
Time on my hands
I wanna free somebody
But freedom don't come easy
How can I free someone
If I don't know what it means?
I wanna save the world
Hide it high up on a shelf
Someplace where nobody can find it
I'll just keep it to myself
(Chorus)
Time moves on and forgets your name
Right or wrong it's all the same
Daylight burns and a year goes by
Whole world turns in the blink of an eye
Only want somebody you can blame
I understand... Time on my hands
(Chorus)
