High Time
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Michael Penn's High Time Reflection
Lyrics
What a scene
Expressing a notable or remarkable situation
What a drama
Describing a situation with intense emotions and conflict
Just to find the door
Highlighting the difficulty in finding a way out or a solution
That was mean
Referring to an action or situation that was unkind or harsh
That was totally uncalled for
Emphasizing the unexpected and inappropriate nature of the action
Have you reached the point
Asking if one has come to a critical decision point
Where you must choose
Posing a question about choosing between past losses and potential future losses
Between what you lost and
Highlighting the dilemma of choosing between what was lost and what might be lost
What you stand to lose
Stressing the significance of the decision
Isn't it high time?
Suggesting that it is the right or critical time for a decision
Could it be that the future's going
Pondering the potential positivity of the future
To turn out great?
Expressing uncertainty and the need to wait and see
Well, we'll see
Meanwhile, someone is patiently waiting
Meantime somebody
Indicating the passing of time during the wait
Lays in wait
Implies a hidden threat or challenge during the waiting period
'Til you reach the point where
Repeating the idea of reaching a crucial decision point
You must choose
Reiterating the choice between past and potential future losses
Between what you've lost
Emphasizing the consideration of what has been lost
And what you stand to lose
Repeating the theme of weighing past and potential future losses
So come up with a new line
Suggesting the need for a fresh perspective or approach
Cause baby it's high time
Reaffirming that it is indeed the right or critical time for a decision
What a shame
Expressing disappointment or disapproval
I know nothing's ever
Acknowledging the severity or difficulty of the situation
Been this tough
Stating that nothing has been as challenging before
Out of blame
Referring to being free from blame or responsibility
And out of all of that other stuff
Being free from unnecessary concerns or distractions
But when you're alone with
When alone with what remains after losses
What you've left
Having experienced grief and loss
And you've done bereaved and
Reiterating the experience of grief and loss
Been bereft enough
Having suffered enough loss
You have reached the point
Reaching a critical decision point
Where you must choose
Reemphasizing the choice between past and potential future losses
Between what you've lost
Considering what has been lost
And what you stand to lose
Weighing the potential future losses
Isn't it high time
Reiterating the idea that it is the right or critical time for a decision
Baby it's high time
Stressing the urgency of the decision
Baby it's high time
Reaffirming that it is indeed the right or critical time for a decision
