Embracing Moments: Nostalgia and Love in 'Time Happens' by Jess Silber
Lyrics
Looking back on time
Reflecting on past moments
Looking back on life
Reflecting on past experiences
Don't you wish you could just rewind
Desire to go back in time
And remember why you smiled all the time
Recalling reasons for past happiness
Or why you laughed when you fell
Recalling unexpected reactions to situations
When you really should have cried
Suppressing emotions when one should have expressed them
Oh that feeling when you had your first crush
Nostalgia for the feeling of a first romantic attraction
You never hurt so bad, you never felt so alive
Intense emotions experienced during that time
Time happens it gives and takes away
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of time
You can't foresee tomorrow
Uncertainty about the future
You can't relive yesterday
Unable to revisit the past
Time happens and time changes us
Recognizing the impact of time on personal growth
However long we have
Regardless of time's duration, love remains significant
There's always time to love
Emphasizing the importance of making time for love
I used to tell time by the sun
Previously used natural cues to organize time
Plan my days as they'd come
Living life without a fixed plan in the past
But now every second seems to count
Every moment is now crucial
And every year there's something new
Each year brings new challenges to adapt to
I have to learn to live without
Learning to cope without certain things over time
Time happens it gives and takes away
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of time
You can't foresee tomorrow
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future and inability to change the past
You can't relive yesterday
Highlighting personal evolution due to the passage of time
Time happens and time changes us
Regardless of time's duration, love remains significant
However long we have
Emphasizing the importance of making time for love
There's always time to love
Stressing the impact of loved ones in coping with loss
It's the people you love
People dear to us aid in letting go of certain things
That help you let go
Realizing that some thoughts or feelings are shareable
Of the things that you thought
Believing that certain experiences are beyond comprehension
No one could ever know
Lost loved ones are still a part of us through love
It's the people you lose
Love transcends our mortality
That are never really lost
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of time
Cause love will live longer
Emphasizing the significance of love beyond lifespan
Than the life in us
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future and inability to change the past
Time happens it gives and takes away
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of time
You can't foresee tomorrow
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future and inability to change the past
You can't relive yesterday
Highlighting personal evolution due to the passage of time
Time happens and time changes us
Regardless of time's duration, love remains significant
However long we have
Emphasizing the importance of making time for love
There's always time to love
Encouragement to prioritize love in life
So don't forget to love
Reminder to express love
N' don't forget to kiss
Reminder to engage in affectionate gestures
Don't forget to hug
Encouragement to show care through physical contact
N' don't forget to miss.
Acceptance of longing for someone
