Lyrics
I know a countdown when I see one
I recognize a situation with an imminent conclusion.
Sure as fire burns and cool water runs
Certain as natural elements like fire and water follow their inherent courses.
A word of warning, better get prepared
A cautionary message, advising to be ready for what is to come.
Hold tight, we're already there
An urging to hold on tightly, suggesting the destination or outcome is already reached.
There's a warm wind blowing these flames so high
There's a strong force pushing these emotions to a heightened state.
Smoke's getting thicker between you and I
The obstacles or issues are increasing, creating a barrier between two individuals.
I know it's happening 'cause I can't see clear
Acknowledging the unfolding events because clarity is obscured.
Hold tight, we're already there
Reiterating the need to hold on tightly, emphasizing the inevitability of the situation.
Year after year the worse it gets
Over time, the situation deteriorates, possibly due to poor decisions.
The consequence of short sighted bets
The repercussions of short-term, narrow-minded choices are becoming evident.
Hard to keep a bad habit hid for long
It's challenging to conceal a negative behavior for an extended period.
You only got what you got 'til it's gone
A reminder that possessions or circumstances are only appreciated when they are lost.
Change is coming, I hope it lasts
Anticipating change, expressing hope for its permanence.
For there's no future immune from the past
No future is exempt from the influence of the past.
So don't wait, 'cause waiting's too late to bear
An admonition against procrastination, as delaying action is too late to endure.
Hold tight, we're already there
Repeating the call to hold on tightly, reinforcing the idea that the destination is already reached.
Hold tight, we're already there
Repetition for emphasis on the need to hold on tightly and the certainty of the situation.
Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
-Hold tight, we're already there
A final reaffirmation that the destination or state of affairs has already been reached.
