Time
Hootie & The Blowfish
Cracked Rear Window
| Time,
why you punish me? Like a wave bashing into the shore You wash away my dreams. Time, why you walk away? Like a friend with somewhere to go You left me crying Can you teach me about tommorrow And all the pain and sorrow Running free? Cause tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in time Time, I don't understand Children killing in the street Dying for the color of red Time, hey there red and blue Wash them in the ocean, make them clean, Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight Can you teach me about tomorrow All the pain and sorrow Running free? But tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in... [chorus:] Time is wasting Time is walking You ain't no friend of mine I don't know where i'm goin' I think I'm out of my mind Thinking about time And if I die tomorrow, yeah Just lay me down in sleep [chorus] Time, you left me standing there Like a tree growing all alone The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare Time, the past has come and gone The future's far away Now only lasts for one second, one second Can you teach me about tomorrow And all the pain and sorrow Running free? 'Cause tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in time [chorus] Time, why you punish me? |
Like many other
songs, albums, and bands, I first heard this one because my dad played it in
his car. There's a very pretty guitar thing that plays throughout it, like
the one in "Sweet Home Alabama", but not quite the same.
This song seems very much like a "summer song" - something that it is fun and upbeat, but at the same time it means something, it has power to it. I like the line, "I don't believe in time," because it sums up everything about summer.
