Lyrics

I would like to think about it

Contemplating a matter

Not just take a glimpse around it

Not merely observing superficially

You know just what I mean

Acknowledging shared understanding

If you've got another minute

Inviting attention for a brief moment


It would be nice to be in it

Expressing a desire to actively participate

Why would we move so fast

Questioning the haste in progress

Even with the best of reasons

Even with valid justifications

You still can't go changing seasons

Resistance to altering natural cycles


And autumn leaves are changing hue

Observing the seasonal transformation

And if you're home I'll pick you up sometime

Offering companionship if present

We'll go out driving and see the sights and sounds and way it used to be

Recalling shared experiences and nostalgia

It's always nice to hear an oldie

Expressing appreciation for the familiar


Turn to putty but that's the old me

Reflecting on personal growth and change

The new is hard as rock

Contrasting the past with a more resilient present

How can we judge if your summer was better than mine

Questioning the subjective nature of comparing experiences

And how can we tell if the moment is in its prime

Contemplating the difficulty of identifying optimal moments


And words flow like wine

Describing the fluidity of communication

And everyone's taking their time

Emphasizing a leisurely pace

To see what I mean, lean, furious machine

Encouraging understanding through analogy

There is never a dull conclusion

Acknowledging the absence of monotony


Just a good friendly ending protrusion

Anticipating a positive, amicable conclusion

Into the state of affairs

Commenting on the current state of affairs
