High Time
Cale Hawkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well listen up people
Have I got news for you
You may be having hard times in your life
But don't get down about your problems don't keep em all inside
Just let em out baby and everything will be right

You're getting low about your problems, well we've all got em
There's nothing new here
So stop complaining and start explaining
And soon they won't be near

It's high time
We've found our reason
We've found our way
We've found our season
I hope it stays

I have been at this point for so long I'm getting bored

Seems like everybody's standing still
They say money makes the world go round but I just see it slowing down
People being held against their will

Always anticipating
Just sitting and waiting for a little change to come
You think you're so different
I think you're so ignorant
Why don't you pay a little attention

It's high time
We've found our reason
We've found our way




We've found our season
I hope it stays

The afternoon is loud again
Shouting its indifference
What if everything we did was fully insignificant?

Now, mornings really aren't my thing
I pull the shades, and wake up in a
Day without a meaning
I'm a candle
Fanning flames, and causing pain
Does it mean the medicine ain't working?

The more I try, the less I understand
The situation's out of my hands
The more I try, the less I understand
But all I need is a little more time
A little more

Now every hour seems to drift
From sustenance to emptiness
Seasons change, and I'm convinced
That love is just impermanence

This is just a factory, and we are little worker bees
Making up our destiny, while dying existentially

The more I'm me, the less I understand
The situation's out of my hands
The more I try, the less I understand
But all I need is a little more time
A little more
The more I try, the less I understand
The situation's out of my hands
I fight the tide, but end up sinking fast
All I need is a little more time
A little more time
A little more
Time
