Jeremy Harrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time.
Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen,
I'll just keep on nappin'
And bidin' my time
Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' my time.
The lyrics of Jeremy Harrison's song "Bidin' My Time" seem deceptively simple at first glance, but upon closer examination, one can detect a deeper meaning to them. The singer of the song admits to being someone who takes life at his own pace, carefully choosing the right moment to act rather than impulsively jumping into things like others. Even as he sees others around him getting caught up in the fast pace of life and growing increasingly confused and dizzy, he continues to stay focused, patiently waiting for his perfect moment to come. He knows that he can't control when that moment will come, so in the meantime, he'll continue to prioritize resting and relaxing instead.
