Time Makes Two
Robert Cray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes more than friends
Time makes true love
More than just pretend
Makes you count the nights
And the moments
Were apart
Time will heal your troubles
When you've got the blues
Heal the burning heartache
Put you right back in the groove
But time will take its toll on you
If you don't play it smart
Because time makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
Time makes two love
Feel each others pain
And I'm so glad of you love
So proud to be your man
Time makes two
Oh Times makes two
Times makes two
You know time makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
Time makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
Oh times makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
It makes you more than friends
Time makes two â?¦ time makes two
It makes you feel each other's pain
Time makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
Makes you more than friends
Time makes two, it takes two to heal a broken heart
The lyrics to Robert Cray's song "Time Makes Two" explore the concept of time and its impact on love, relationships, and healing. The opening lines suggest that time can transform a casual friendship into something deeper and more meaningful. As time goes on, love becomes more authentic and tangible, rather than just mere pretense. The lyrics then describe the difficulties of being apart from someone you love, as time forces you to count the moments until you can be reunited.
The second verse contrasts the healing power of time with its potential to cause harm. Time can be a soothing balm for troubled hearts and aching emotions, but it can also take a toll on those who don't use it wisely. The chorus emphasizes the importance of having a partner to share the journey of healing with. Time alone isn't enough; it takes two people working together to mend a broken heart.
Overall, the lyrics of "Time Makes Two" suggest that love and healing are both products of time and effort. While time can be a difficult and painful process, it's ultimately worth it when you have someone to share it with. The song is a poignant reminder of the power of love to transform and heal.
