Suddenly found inspiration while nursing a glass of coffee, and wrote these lyrics at the coffeeshop. Been haggering this song for ages. I've yet to write the music though.
A pretty weird song structurally: the verse consists of lines from other of my songs featuring similar meanings, while the focus is on the chorus. A wide range of emotions is necessary: regret, despair and finally quiet reflection of one's mistakes.
PERHAPS IT'S NOT TIME
This is what the time will do to you
You may not know, you may not feel
If you had been kinder

PERHAPS IT'S NOT TIME
This is what the time will do to you
You may not know, you may not feel
If you had been kinder
Life could have been fuller
But you chose to go away
You couldn't wait you said
You told me seize the day
And thought that I'd obey
(Pause... an afterthought...)
Perhaps it's not time
(Pause... an afterthought...)
Perhaps it's not time
But our own foolishness
For not repaing what we set out for at first
Searchin', searchin', searchin', I've been searchin'
Searchin' for happiness, I would have found it, if I acted then...
Life was full of blunders
I couldn't be much blinder
Searchin', searchin', searchin', I've been searchin'
Searchin' for happiness, I would have found it, if I acted then...
Life was full of blunders
I couldn't be much blinder
By acting with much delay
While thinking they will stay
I should have seized the day
And all would be okay...
(Pause... an afterthought...)
Perhaps it's not time
But our own foolishness
For not finding what we dreamed of in the end
