Time Lyrics
Memories fading, I try to hold on
When I don't know where I belong no more
The sound of your voice was my all, was my home
But these walls, they can't hear you no more, no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Searching high and low for peace of mind
I feel I lost a piece of mine
And I wish that time never mattered
[Chorus]
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered
[Verse 2]
Now that the spring comes, I try to stay strong
But every part of me aches, all alone, all alone
The goldfields of sunflowers, all in their bloom
Now I close my eyes to feel you, oh you
[Pre-Chorus]
Searching high and low for peace of mind
I feel I lost a piece of mine
And I wish that time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh I, wish time never mattered
[Bridge]
If I only knew
I'd never take for granted
The times I took for granted, oh
If I only knew
I'd cherish it forever
'Cause you're what always mattered to me
[Chorus]
Silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart, yeah-yeah
Oh I, wish time never mattered
[Outro]
I wish that time
I wish that time
That time never mattered

The song is about my dad — I lost him in 2009. I didn’t have the tightest relationship with him when I was young because my parents got divorced when I was very young. I only got more in touch with him when I was 18, and he passed just a few years after that. I always regret the time I didn’t get with him and that’s what the song is about.
Tonight, listening to More Life, it kind of hit me: Drake’s dad is on the cover of his project, and he celebrates his dad. It’s about life and celebrating life. It’s so crazy that my song “Time” is about me not having enough time with my dad. So, I feel very connected to the project, even though this was more like me and Boi-1da collaborating.
