Vowels = space and time Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah uh ah uh ah uh

[Verse 1]
Speak it all the time, speak it all the time
And I'll never tell you what is mine
I don't know what it means, but I see it, it's fine
It's hardly any other, it can borrow inside
Think it all the time, think it all the time
And I know that I tell you, but boy its mine
I don't know what it is and that it is fine
It's hardly any other it can borrow inside
Oooh

[Interlude]
Being myself makes me feel like I can't touch the ground
Here on the earth makes me feel like I can't get the sound

Being myself makes me feel like I know who you are
Cause boy, you can be what the words
Who you are, what you are

[Chorus]
Ah uh ah uh
I don't want to let you go
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Ohhh, boy you need to know
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Oh, You could be a better friend
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Cause I could be a better man

[Refrain]
Sometimes you know that I wonder why (up and down up and down)
I don't want to dream but boy I'm lying upside down

[Chorus]
Being myself makes me feel like I don't know the trees
Cause boy you can be what you, what you want to be
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Ohh, I don't want to let you go
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Ohh, you're tying me low
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Ohh, you could be a better friend
(ah uh ah uh ah uh)
Ohh, and I could be a better man

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
