Time on My Hands
Time's Embrace: Navigating Life's Slow Dance
Lyrics
knockin' em back night after night
Engaging in regular drinking sessions night after night.
at the same old hole in the wall
Choosing the same familiar place, possibly a bar or pub.
adds up fast, year after year, to the same old nothin' at all
Repetitive actions accumulating over the years, leading to a sense of stagnation or lack of progress.
checkin' the clock again and again
Frequently checking the time, possibly due to boredom or waiting.
from the first round until last call
Being conscious of time passing, from the start of drinking until the bar closes.
they say time flies when you're ridin' high but when you're low it can really crawl
Reflecting on the perception that time moves slowly when experiencing low points in life.
I got nothin' but time, time on my hands
Expressing a surplus of available time.
since you took off with him and I took off my weddin' band
Acknowledging a breakup and removal of a wedding band.
it sure is nice, yeah it sure is grand
Highlighting the positive aspect of having ample time.
with nothin' but time, time on my hands
Reiterating the theme of having plenty of time after a separation.
relivin' the days frame by frame like an old home video
Nostalgically revisiting memories day by day, like watching an old home video.
hard to believe how young we were only just a decade ago
Expressing surprise at how young and different life was just a decade ago.
now I'm takin' it slow at the waterin' hole
Taking life slowly, possibly contemplating the past, at a place where people gather (watering hole).
just watchin' my bar tab grow
Observing the growing cost of drinking over an extended period.
been here so long sittin' alone with only a lifetime to go
Feeling a prolonged sense of loneliness with a lifetime ahead.
I got nothin' but time, time on my hands
Reiterating the abundance of free time after a relationship ended.
since you took off with him and I took off my weddin' band
Connecting the surplus of time with the end of a marriage.
it sure is nice, yeah it sure is grand
Emphasizing the positive and grand aspect of having time.
with nothin' but time, time on my hands
Repeating the theme of having nothing but time after a separation.
nothin' but time, time on my hands
Reinforcing the notion of having plenty of time on hand.
