The Time Before Us
Embracing the Simple Joys: The Time Before Us by Jordan Timm
Lyrics
The world survives another day
The world continues to exist for another day.
She's at home and he's with the boys
A woman is at home while a man is spending time with his friends.
Like autumn falls int he month of May let's go back to the times of the simple joys
Comparing a situation where something unexpected happens (like autumn falling in May) to returning to simpler, more joyful times.
Do you see what I see
Asking if the listener perceives the same things as the singer.
With me is where you ought to be
The singer wants the listener to be with them.
Do you feel what I feel
Asking if the listener experiences the same emotions as the singer.
Come and help me make this real
Inviting the listener to help the singer make their shared emotions or desires a reality.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
Repeated questioning about the listener's actions or choices when everything falls apart or goes wrong.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Falls down
-You see the problem is that you're so pretty you don't even know
Pointing out that the listener is unaware of their own beauty.
He's too naive to even show, show, show you a little respect
Suggesting that someone is too inexperienced or innocent to show proper respect.
Gas in the tank let me take you to a place where you get that joy back
Expressing the willingness to take the listener to a place where they can regain their happiness.
Do you see what I see
Reiteration of asking if the listener perceives the same things as the singer.
With me is where you ought to be
Expressing the desire for the listener to be together with the singer.
Do you feel what I feel
Reiteration of asking if the listener feels the same emotions as the singer.
Come and help me make this real
Inviting the listener again to participate in making their shared emotions or desires a reality.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
Repetition of questioning the listener's actions or choices when everything falls apart or goes wrong.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
Continued repetition of questioning the listener's actions or choices when everything falls apart or goes wrong.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
Further repetition of questioning the listener's actions or choices when everything falls apart or goes wrong.
Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Whatcha gonna do yeah who you gonna call when it all falls down
-Falls down
