All the Time
Edge of Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Convulse on the impulse
This is how you learn
This is how I'll teach you
To be a better man

A shock for a thought
We don't use pennies anymore
You see
It's all between just you and me now

All the time to come
We got all the time to come
We have all the time to come
Under this sun

You'll shake in the intake
This is how you learn
This is how I'll teach you
To be a humble man

The clock's in your head
It strikes the hour that you set
You see
Your dreams look all the same to me now

All the time to come
We got all the time to come




We have all the time to come
Under this sun
