Where Does the Time Go Lyrics

On The Sailor’s final track, “Where Does the Time Go,” Brian recruits his 88rising labelmate Joji. Over a laid-back Bēkon-produced instrumental, they sing about having limited time with their love interests.[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon]I can't do what you ask of meI’m too scared to be afraidAfraid of what I have becomeA statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun[Verse 1: Rich Brian & Joji]All the things that I tell myselfMake it sound worse than how it really goesWhen I've cancelled Ubers so many timesThat I made apology videosI'm in this shit for eternitiesLil’ bitch, what are you in it for?Just stand right by the spotlight'Cause I know you wanna be in it moreI pull up in a red Corvette'Bout to get suit up, ready for more sexLook in that toilet, that's what you're full ofIt ain't no contest, but you're still losin'2017, all those memoriesRemind me to fuck my enemiesYou not that important for meTo waste more of my good energies[Refrain: Rich Brian]I cannot fuck with these hoesThey don’t care about meSee Rich Brian LiveGet tickets as low as $35You might also like[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon, Rich Brian]I can’t do what you ask of me (Nah, I can't)I’m too scared to be afraid (I'm fucking terrified)Afraid of what I have becomeA statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun[Verse 2: Rich Brian]Part of me wants to be betterJust like all my heroes that I never metBut I think I'll just settle nowSettle now, yeahAnd part of me wants to be goodBut part of me wants to go outside and fuck these hoes (Heh-heh)These silly hoes'Cause it’s after midnightAnd you're standin' there in the spotlightWatchin' your body kill all my dreams'Cause I'm stayin' home when I should be freeWhere does the time go when you're fuckin' me?Oh, where does the time go when you're fuckin' me?Oh, where does the time go?[Bridge: Joji]Can you find me here in love?Can you find me here in love?[Refrain: Rich Brian]Ooh, I cannot fuck with these hoesThey don't care about me[Outro: Joji]You can't be what you're not bein'You can't see what you can't seeIf you need somethin' to believe inYou can go believe in meSo catch me if you canSo catch me if you can (Ooh)So catch me if you canSo catch me if you canSo catch me if you can (Ooh)So catch me if you can (Ooh)So catch me if you canSo catch me if you can (Ooh)1EmbedCancel

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 [?]
