Lyrics

I never woke up

I never experienced a moment of awakening

To that song about Roger McGuinn's...

Referring to a song about Roger McGuinn's, possibly about missed cultural references or moments

I never woke up

Reiteration of not having a moment of awakening

With her beside me humming along

Not waking up with a significant other beside, missing shared moments

With time on my side

Having time on one's side, a sense of leisure and opportunity

Life could wait

Life could wait, suggesting a lack of urgency or pressure

I never took the stage

Never taking a prominent role, possibly in the context of performance or leadership

To make havoc at my secondary school

Avoiding causing chaos or trouble in secondary school

I never took the stage

Reiterating a lack of desire to be in the spotlight and cause embarrassment

To embarrass the headmaster and Miss Face

Avoiding actions that embarrass authority figures

With time on my side

Having time on one's side, suggesting a lack of pressure and a sense of patience

Life could wait

Life could wait, reinforcing the idea of a relaxed approach to life

Now time's on your side

Shift in perspective, now acknowledging that time is on someone else's side

Waste it well

Encouraging the person with time on their side to use it wisely

Smash every sign that says carpe diem!

Advocating for a rebellious attitude against the common advice to "seize the day"

Don't know where I was

Expressing uncertainty about one's location or state during a significant moment

When he sang the greatest love of all

Not being present or aware when the song "The Greatest Love of All" was sung

Don't know where I was

Reiteration of not being aware during a significant cultural moment

When Reading stared with condescending eyes

Being unaware when Reading began with a condescending attitude

Now time's on your side

Now acknowledging that time is on someone else's side

Waste it well

Encouraging the person with time on their side to use it wisely, echoing earlier sentiments

Smash every sign that says carpe diem!

Reiterating the rebellious attitude against the common advice to "seize the day"

Now time's on your side

Repeating the acknowledgment that time is on someone else's side

Waste it well

Encouraging the person with time on their side to use it wisely, echoing earlier sentiments

Smash every sign that says carpe diem!

Reiterating the rebellious attitude against the common advice to "seize the day"
