What Is The Time - Dirty Projectors Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leave the spoon-fed champions
Leave the lamplit prose
Leave the endlessly distracting madness
And say hello
Hello
Hello

[Chorus]
What is the time when I can call you by your name?
I don't know why it's been so long
Alone, imagining nobody
Once in a while, well
I guess the planets align
And show me the one I am
I am the one who would love you

[Verse 2]
Seek the dusty longshot
On the last frontier
Join the minor miracle that looks flat
But reveals itself a sphere
As the wheel of inception steers

[Chorus]
What is the time when I can call you by your name?
I don't know why it's been so long
Alone, imagining nobody
Once in a while, well
I guess the planets align
And show me the one I am
I am the one who would love you
[Bridge]
They say it's ashes to ashes
Passion is passing
And we all will die alone (Wow)
But while we're here on the planet
Dancing on granite
Why don't we drink Côtes du Rhône (Wow)?

[Chorus]
What is the time when I can call you by your name?
I don't know why it's been so long
Alone, imagining nobody
Once in a while, well
I guess the planets align
And show me the one I am
I am the one who would love you

[Outro]
What is the time when I can call you by your name?
I don't know why it's been so long
Alone, imagining nobody
Once in a while, well
I guess the planets align
And show me the one I am
I am the one who would love you
