Quit Wasting Time
Seizing Love Before It Fades: Jefferson Starship's Timeless Reflection
Lyrics
Don't we go on living
Reflecting on the continuous nature of life.
Like our lives come with some kind
Living as if there is a guaranteed future.
Of guarantee
Questioning the certainty of life.
Talking 'bout the future
Discussing future plans as if they are definite.
Like we'll see tomorrow's sunrise
Assuming that tomorrow is guaranteed.
Definitely
Expressing a sense of certainty about the future.
Got no time for love today
Indicating a lack of time for love in the present.
Don't notice love just seems to
Not recognizing that love is slipping away.
Slip away
Love is slipping away unnoticed.
I don't want to end up thinking
Fearing the regret of missed opportunities.
About how it could have been
Regretting how things could have been.
If our days were numbered
Contemplating the impact of a limited time.
Tell me would you love me then
Asking if love would be expressed under limited time.
Could you say I love you
Questioning the expression of love in a constrained scenario.
Would you let it go unsaid
Considering the consequences of unsaid feelings.
Would we be wasting time
Wondering if time would be wasted without limitations.
If our time was limited
Reflecting on the value of time in the absence of constraints.
Seems to me that we
Suggesting the potential for improved treatment of each other.
Could treat each other so much
Highlighting the need for better interpersonal relationships.
Better than we do
Expressing a desire for improved mutual treatment.
I don't want to wait
Not wanting to delay expressing love until it's too late.
Till it's too late to let you know that
Expressing a sense of urgency to convey love.
I love you
Directly stating love for the other person.
Let's treat each day like it's the last
Encouraging living each day as if it's the last.
Make up for the time we wasted in
Compensating for past time wasted by making the most of the present.
The past
Addressing the need to make amends for past mistakes.
I don't want to end up thinking
Fearing the regret of missed opportunities (repeated).
'Bout how it could have been
Regretting how things could have been (repeated).
If our days were numbered
Contemplating the impact of a limited time (repeated).
Tell me would you love me then
Asking if love would be expressed under limited time (repeated).
Can you say I love you
Questioning the expression of love in a constrained scenario (repeated).
Will you let it go unsaid
Considering the consequences of unsaid feelings (repeated).
Let's quit wasting time
Advocating for the cessation of time-wasting.
'Cause our time is limited
Emphasizing the limited nature of time and the urgency to act.
