Floating (Time Isn’t Working My Side) Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 1]
We may not be hopeless
But we're still helpless in the end

Just remember you're floatin'
Remember the love that we were in


[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
So inconsistently we spend
Our time with family and our friends
I know I'm not hopeless
I'm only helpless in the end
I know you love questions
But they go unanswered in the end

Did you forget you're floatin'?
Did you forget that we were only men?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
We're getting all for our time, time, time
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
We're getting all for our time, time, time

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side

[Outro]
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side

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 [?]
