Tame Impala Lyrics
Has it really been that long?
Did I count the days wrong?
Did we just go 'round and 'round
All the way to step one?
They would ask me all the time
Every time the show's up
"So what you doin' with your life"
It ain't givin' up
Just growin' up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Livin' life in phases
Another season changes
And still my days are shapeless
It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late"
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone
I've been waiting here
Waiting for the day to come
Take us to the place
Takin' us where we have gone
They would ask me all the time
Showin' up in ages
"So what you doin' with your life?"
Call it givin' up
I'm just growin' up in stages
(Lay down, low down)
Livin' life in phases
Another season changes
And still my ways are aimless, I know
We're growin' up in stages
And I'm runnin' out of pages
Growin' up
It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late"
'Cause time waits for no one
I should be flying straight, with no delay
'Cause time takes from everyone

This song is like opening a door into the past and is super comforting. It's like a "Hey guys I'm back" type of song and is beautiful and different in the best ways. Cheers for Mr. Parker boys.
