Imany — Time Only Moves

Time Only Moves

You were born on the wrong side
And you've been all alone
You've been watching your whole life
The world passing you by

Nobody will live your own life for you
Nobody will feel the way that you do

So stand on your feet
Move on with your grief
Time only moves forward
You learn with defeat
There's no way around it
The past belongs to the wind


You were born on the wrong side
Or so it seems at times
You've been hiding from the sunlight
And now you stand behind

Nobody will live your own life for you
Nobody will feel the way that you do

So stand on your feet
Move on with your grief
Time only moves forward
You learn with defeat
There's no way around it
The past belongs to the wind


Is that all you need, is that all there is?
You're free to believe and to face all your dreams
Is that all you need, is that all there is?
What do you believe when facing the hill?
Is that all you need, is that all there is?
You're free to believe and to face all your dreams

You've been told that it's too hard
So you don't even try
You've been running for a lifetime
With nowhere to lie down

Nobody will live your own life for you
Nobody will feel the way that you do

So stand on your feet
Move on with your grief
Time only moves forward
You learn with defeat
There's no way around it
The past belongs to the wind


You've been hiding from the sunlight
And you've been on your own
Time only moves forward
The past is where it belongs
