There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave
Father time takes a toll on every minute that you stay
Big old Tinder's never gonna change the number on your days
The highest cost of living's dying, that's what everybody pays
So have it spent before you get the bill
There's no time to kill
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or leave the cheers in someone else's game
Never love
I've learned to play and see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day
The grass is green on both sides of the hill
There's no time to kill
No time to kill
Even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standing still
No time to kill
Time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
Quit this workin' worryin' lookin' back at where I've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will
There's no time to kill
If we had an hourglass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass
We'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold?
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had till we grow old?
Or do we just keep killin' time until
There's no time to kill
No time to kill
Even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standing still
No time to kill
Time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
Quit this workin' worryin' lookin' back at where I've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will
There's no time to kill
No time to kill
Even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standing still
No time to kill
Time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
Quit this workin' worryin' lookin' back at where I've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will
There's no time to kill
No time to kill
No time to kill
No time to kill
