Time Won't Take Its Time
Life's Race Against Time
Lyrics
Thirty is turning to forty
Turning from thirty to forty, indicating the passage of time.
Another year has come and gone
Reflecting on the passing of another year.
I made plans to do big things
Expressing intentions for significant achievements.
I resolved to finally right the wrongs
Determined to correct past mistakes or regrets.
I had dreams of a good life
Dreaming of a fulfilling and happy life.
Maybe even find me a wife
Hoping to find a life partner.
Trouble with me though I'm single and free
Acknowledging the challenge of being single despite freedom.
Is time won't take its time with me
Feeling impatient as time seems to pass too quickly.
I got on that A train this morning
Commencing a daily routine, possibly commuting to work.
Probably take the bus home late
Anticipating a late return home after work.
I've been wasting away at this old job
Expressing dissatisfaction with a mundane job.
Just to get a little food on my plate
Working hard merely to secure basic necessities.
One last stop to the liquor store
Stopping at a liquor store, possibly to cope with difficulties.
Before I tuck my blues in tonight
Preparing to face personal struggles before bedtime.
Trouble my friend is I'm at a dead end
Feeling stuck and without prospects for improvement.
And time won't take its time with me
Reiterating impatience with the relentless passage of time.
Sure is an awful kind of feeling
Describing the unpleasantness of having a consistently low bank balance.
When your bank account is always low
Rejecting the idea of resorting to theft to alleviate financial struggles.
I don't plan to start out stealing
Choosing to endure hardship rather than engage in criminal activities.
So I'll earn a few lines in my brow
Accepting the visible signs of aging, expressed through lines on the forehead.
I ain't getting any younger
Noting a decrease in time spent with family as responsibilities increase.
And I'm seeing family less and less
Experiencing mental distress due to personal troubles and a harsh world.
Trouble in mind and the world is unkind
Reiterating frustration with the relentless and unforgiving nature of time.
And time won't take its time with me
Feeling the pressure of time passing too quickly and impacting personal goals.
