The process of writing songs is very personal and always surprising. I am often inspired into an idea by a small moment. And yet, what I start out trying to do is usually what I don’t achieve. I frequently find the end result of what I’ve done to be entirely different from my initial expectations. On Mondays: I think being creative is more about listening than doing and it’s all about the low end. On Tuesday’s: I throw pretzels at seagulls…
Lyrics:
VERSE:
It keeps rolling in like blackouts
This casual thief of sundowns
But I’m just a part of the wheel now
Spinning into a breakdown
PRE CHORUS:
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
CHORUS:
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
VERSE:
Leave me lost inside that moment
My favorite to remember
Without I would be on my own now
Reaching for all that’s gone by
PRE CHORUS:
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
CHORUS:
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
BRIDGE:
Who are we now
Who are we now
Ooh when you unwind
I am about to find
Ooh you got me lost in time
I am undone tonight
Ooh when you unwind
We’re all spinning on this wheel of time
What is an end without a starting line
And every breath I take is another way I’ve died
So when I say hello know I’ve also said goodbye
(I am undone tonight
Ooh when you unwind
Ooh when you unwind)
CHORUS:
Oh you thief of time
(You unwind)
Are you gonna steal all mine
(I am about to find)
Oh you thief of time
(You unwind)
Are you gonna steal all mine
(Ooh you got me lost in time)
Oh you thief of time
(You unwind)
Are you gonna steal all mine
(I am undone tonight)
Oh you thief of time
(You unwind)
Are you gonna steal all mine
(Ooh you got me lost in time)
OUTRO:
Oh you thief of time
Are you gonna steal all mine
Are you gonna steal all mine
Ooh when you unwind
