Time Only Knows
Stuart Chatwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never will we know if our love is true
At night i sleep and dream of you
Only to awake in my empty room
You give me power
You give me reason
So, will you love me?
You give me power
You give me reason
So, will you love me?
Time only knows, time only knows
In Stuart Chatwood's song, Time Only Knows, the lyrics depict a sense of uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The first verse highlights the idea that time is the only true test of love, and despite all the words and promises shared between two individuals, it is only through time that we can truly know if our love is genuine. The second verse speaks of the internal emotions the singer feels towards their love interest. They dream of them at night, but when they wake up, reality sets in, and they are left feeling lonely and empty without their significant other.
The chorus brings back the uncertainty, questioning whether or not their love interest will reciprocate those same feelings. The phrase "Time only knows, time only knows," represents the idea that only time will tell if their love is true, and until then, they are left in a state of emotional limbo.
Overall, the song Time Only Knows captures the complex emotions that come with being unsure about a romantic relationship. It highlights the importance of time and how it plays a significant role in shaping how we feel about those we love.

I get goosebumps all over my skin when I listen to this song, the same way I did when I played PoP The sands of time to the end seventeen years ago as a kind. I kept rewatching the credits just to listen to this beautiful music.
