Not a Moment Too Soon
Embracing Change: A Journey Through Life's Twists in 'Not a Moment Too Soon'
Lyrics
Woke up this morning
Expressing the start of a new day.
The scent of rain in the air
Sensing the smell of rain in the atmosphere.
Just quit the bar cause the pay wasn't fair
Leaving a job at a bar due to unfair pay.
And I'm not sticking around either
Deciding not to stay in the current situation.
You’re the first that I tell
Sharing the decision with someone important.
It's like my choice was brief, yet it was endless as well
Reflecting on a choice that felt both brief and endless.
Saw an old friend I hadn't seen since the fall
Encountering an old friend not seen since the fall.
Felt like I'd changed and she hadn't at all
Feeling a personal transformation compared to the unchanged friend.
She sings the song of her parents and she just changes the chords
Observing the friend's repetition of family patterns in music.
That's something I can't afford
Expressing inability to afford such repetitiveness in life.
Just because things get better don't mean that they're good
Highlighting that improvement doesn't guarantee overall goodness.
I'm not for all markets, had to sell when I could
Not being suitable for all markets and making necessary sales.
Had to cut my losses, start from scratch
Making tough decisions to cut losses and start anew.
I know there's always a catch
Acknowledging that challenges are always present.
There's always a catch
Reiterating the inevitability of encountering obstacles.
Now I'm dressed in a dress that blows in the wind
Describing the attire blowing in the wind.
I wanna go out tonight and never come in
Expressing a desire to go out and avoid returning.
Like a bird by the highway, I'm gonna change my tune
Comparing oneself to a bird, suggesting a change in direction.
And, babe, not a moment too soon
Emphasizing the timing of the change as perfect or not delayed.
