Everything Comes and Goes
Ephemeral Moments: Michelle Branch's Reflection on Time
Lyrics
Time is going by so fast
Reflecting on the fast passage of time.
And I can't do anything about it
Expressing a sense of powerlessness to control the pace of time.
Iâ??ve been holding on so long
Describing a prolonged period of endurance or persistence.
It's time that I can do without it
Acknowledging the need to let go of certain aspects of life.
Everything comes and goes
Highlighting the transient nature of experiences and situations.
I'm always the last to know
Feeling uninformed or unaware of changes happening.
I can see the sun come up another day
Observing the beginning of a new day with the sunrise.
You were looking for some fun
Describing a mismatch in expectations or desires.
And I was asking for a heartache
Recalling a pursuit of enjoyment that led to heartache.
I should turn my head and run
Considering the option to avoid potential pain.
Or I could learn it all the hard way
Contemplating the possibility of learning through difficult experiences.
Everything comes and goes
Reiterating the transient nature of everything.
I'm always the last to know
Expressing a recurring theme of being unaware or late to grasp changes.
I can see the sun come up another day
Noting the continuation of life with each new day.
You should make up your mind
Advising someone to make decisions after a considerable amount of time.
After all of this time, all this time
Emphasizing the importance of time in decision-making.
Everything comes and goes
Repeating the theme of the transient nature of everything.
I'm always the last to know
Expressing a sense of being consistently late or out of the loop.
I can see the sun come up another day
Observing the sunrise as a metaphor for the start of a new phase.
I can see the sun come up another day
Reiterating the observation of a new day beginning.
