While We Have Time
Timeless Reflections: Nostalgia and Growth in 'While We Have Time' by PatFromLastYear
Lyrics
Wish we could go back to 2011
Expressing a desire to return to the year 2011.
Summertime crashing in your parents basement
Recalling summertime spent together in a basement, possibly nostalgic.
So naïve
Describing a past state of innocence.
Didn't wanna believe
Reluctance to accept an impending end or change.
It could end
Acknowledging the potential for the relationship to conclude.
No one can
Reflecting on the inevitability of change.
Now we're both growing up but we're growing apart
Noting the divergence in personal growth.
You're moving cross states while Im stuck in a job
Highlighting physical distance in the relationship due to relocation.
An, I know I said lovers can't turn into strangers
Recalling a previous statement about the difficulty of lovers becoming strangers.
But we made it
Celebrating the survival of the relationship despite challenges.
So tell me when the moment comes
Expressing a desire for honesty when a crucial moment arrives.
I want to be honest
Emphasizing the importance of truthfulness.
Say we left with memories I promised
Promising to cherish memories even if the relationship ends.
I feel alive every second with you
Feeling vibrant and alive in every moment spent with the partner.
Ooo, while we have time
Expressing a sense of urgency to appreciate the present moment.
Ooo, while we have time
Reiterating the importance of seizing the current moment.
While we have time
Emphasizing the significance of the present time.
Blasting zepplin on a lonely highway
Describing a scene of listening to Zeppelin while driving alone.
Driving down to malibu, see what it feels like
Driving towards Malibu, perhaps seeking a new experience.
To be in a movie based in hollywood
Fantasizing about being part of a Hollywood-based movie.
And this is our story so far
Considering their shared journey as a personal narrative.
I love how you wear your heart on your sleeve
Admiring the partner's openness and emotional expression.
Maybe when we're older we'll live a little closer
Speculating about living closer in the future when they are older.
Hope it's not too late when we meet
Expressing hope that a future meeting is not too late.
Now we're both growing up but we're growing apart
Repeating the theme of growing up and growing apart.
You're moving cross states while Im stuck in a job
Reiterating the physical distance due to relocation.
An, I know I said lovers can't turn into strangers
Recalling the challenge of lovers turning into strangers.
But we made it
Celebrating overcoming the aforementioned challenge.
So tell me when the moment comes
Asking to be informed when a crucial moment in the relationship occurs.
I want to be honest
Reiterating the desire for honesty in that critical moment.
Say we left with memories I promised
Promising to leave with cherished memories.
I feel alive every second with you
Feeling alive and vibrant in every moment spent with the partner.
Ooo, while we have time
Reiterating the urgency of seizing the present moment.
Ooo, while we have time
Emphasizing the importance of acting now.
While we have time
Repeating the theme of the significance of the current time.
Ooo, while we have time
Reiterating the urgency of seizing the present moment.
Time
Highlighting the concept of time as a finite resource.
