Seems Like a Long Time
Time's Echoes: Yearning, Waiting, and Wishing
Lyrics
Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
Nighttime is the contrasting counterpart to daytime.
But if you've ever waited for the sun
If you've ever anticipated the arrival of the sun.
You know what it's like to wish daytime would come
Understanding the longing for daytime to begin.
And don't it seem like a long time
Expressing the feeling of time dragging on.
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Reinforces the sense of time stretching out.
Sometimes it seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Emphasizes the enduring perception of time.
Seems like a long, long time
Repetition intensifies the feeling of a prolonged duration.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Confirmation of the extended period being referred to.
Hard times are only the other side of good times
Hard times contrasted with good times.
But if you ever wished hard times were gone
Experiencing the desire for difficult times to pass.
You know what it's like to wish good times would come
Understanding the yearning for favorable times.
And don't it seem like a long time
Reiteration of the sense of time dragging on.
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Reaffirming the extended perception of time.
Sometimes it seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Stressing the lasting nature of the experience.
Seems like a long, long time
Emphasizes the enduring perception of time.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Repetition intensifies the feeling of a prolonged duration.
You know what it's like to wish good times would come
Reflecting on the desire for good times.
And don't it seem like a long time
Reiteration of the sense of time dragging on.
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Reaffirming the extended perception of time.
Sometimes it seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Stressing the lasting nature of the experience.
Seems like a long, long time
Emphasizes the enduring perception of time.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Repetition intensifies the feeling of a prolonged duration.
War time is only the other side of peace time
War time contrasted with peace time.
But if you've ever seen how wars are won
Understanding the desire for wars to end.
You know what it's like to wish that peace would come
Knowing the yearning for the arrival of peace.
And don't it seem like a long time
Reiteration of the sense of time dragging on.
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, seem like a long, long time
Intensifying the feeling of an exceptionally long duration.
Sometimes it seems like a long time, seems like a very long time
Emphasizes the enduring perception of time.
Seems like a long, long time
Stressing the lasting nature of the experience.
Sometimes it seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Further emphasizing the extended perception of time.
Seems like a long, long time
Reaffirming the feeling of an extended duration.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Confirmation of the extended period being referred to.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Repetition for emphasis on the prolonged time.
Yes it does, a long, long time
Final confirmation of the enduring duration.
