Lyrics

Timeless

[Intro]

Yeah (This sound like a groove an' shit)

[Verse 1]

I spend so much time, just thinkin' 'bout nothin'

Now it's time to turn, that nothin' into somethin'

And see if that somethin' wants to be with me

And we could be together, live happily

I spend so much time, just doin' nothin'

I think it's time for me to start, doin' somethin'

Find me a fine activity

Enjoy this life of liberty

[Hook]

Timeless, everything is

Time just, keep on movin'

I just, keep on movin'

Life just, keep on movin'...

Keep on movin'

Life just, keep on movin'

Keep on movin'

Timeless...

[Verse 2]

I spend so much time, just livin' in a bubble

I just wanna lay back and stay out of trouble

I think it's time for me to break out the shell

And I can't be afraid to fail

I spend so much time outside my mind

That I can't tell if I'm in or outside my mind

It's time for me to come to reality

And use my creativity

[Hook]

Timeless, everything is

Time just, keep on movin'

I just, keep on movin'

Life just, keep on movin'...

Keep on movin'

Life just, keep on movin'

Keep on movin'

Timeless...

[Outro]

Yeah, timeless

Timeless
