Time Will Tell
Scallywagon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my time I spend with you not anyone else
Give me something I can relate to
Maybe then you'll see this way is easier than being myself
There is nothing I can say to chase all your fears away
There is nothing I can do, it doesn't make much sense to you
There is nothing I can say to chase all your fears away
The things that I say to you just keep running back to me
All the things that you say are so repetitive
But I can't keep telling you none of this talk means a thing to me
"If there is something on your mind why don't you just say?"
She asks me all the time but I turn the other way
If there was something on my mind you'd be the last to hear today
There is something but I won't say
I know all that I can be; it's always made such sense to me
When everything I say or do all comes running back to you
I'd close my eyes and then I'd say that you could be my inspiration
But then the next time that I'd see you, questioning your information
Breaking your heart I'd ignore you, it's not hard to
Lemme tell you I'm built that way so everyone get out of my way
"Can't you see?" and I knew you would
My hands are all tied and you don't ask why
The things that I say to you just keep running back to me
All the things that you say are so repetitive and open ended
This makes no sense
There is nothing I can be, so why'd you take advise from me
That is just insanity
There is nothing I can tell you, "So just get away from me"
The only lasting thing to say
"I guess my expectations changed"
The lyrics to Scallywagon's song "Time Will Tell" are about a relationship that is not working out. The singer is asking for something to hold on to, something to relate to, and something that would make it easier to be with the person they are with. However, despite their efforts to communicate, they cannot seem to get through to their partner. The singer is aware of this and feels frustrated that they cannot make the relationship work. They know there is something on their mind that they should express, but they cannot bring themselves to say it.
The chorus reflects the singer's feelings that there is nothing they can do or say to make things better. They feel trapped and helpless, and their partner does not seem to understand them. The singer recognizes that their partner questions everything they say, but they give repetitive and open-ended responses that offer little clarity.
Overall, "Time Will Tell" is a poignant song about a relationship that is not working out, and the frustration and tension that come with it. The singer longs for a deeper understanding and connection with their partner, but they realize that it may not be possible.

The only lasting thing to say
The only thing left to say is
"I guess my expectations changed"
My expectations for this relationship have changed
