Such a time
Joshua Morin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
6 months in, I fell to love's knees
Well this time I know that I´m young anymore
But she says "baby please won't you come home with me"
so I follow her out the door
into a wild trip country music
what the hell am I doing here?
But I'd love to believe
that you're that free
I know you too well
you're not fooling me
Chorus:
But it's such a time
with beer and wine
smoking these cigarettes
Driving far
singing in the bars
you know I could do anything
could've stopped right here
And I´m Running, with the girl I love
6 months in, I rose from love's knees
And I find myself
too far from home to believe
Why don't you come back home
you can't keep going
oh can't you see
you're not fooling me
Chorus
I´m coming to the end of the road
six months in but I´ve bought what I gave and sold
this was the last time that I would ever do that.
and it's too bad cause it was...
Chorus
The song Such a Time by Joshua Morin talks about a young man who's trying to escape his own self and finds love in a girl. The lyrics show that he's aware of his youth and how he still has a lot to learn but he's willing to follow the girl out the door into the wild trip country music. He's questioning his actions and the purpose behind them but he wants to believe that he's free and can do anything. However, he's not fooling himself and he knows that he's far from home and reality. The girl he loves tries to make him see reason and come back home as he's not fooling her either.
The chorus of the song talks about how this time with the girl he loves, drinking beer and wine and smoking cigarettes while driving and singing in the bars is such a time. He's reminding himself that he could've stopped right there but he didn't, and he's not sure where this wild ride will take him. As the song proceeds, the young man realizes that he's coming to the end of the road after 6 months of being in love. He's bought what he gave and sold and he knows that this time will be the last time.

This will be the last time I make this mistake
and it's too bad cause it was...
But it's unfortunate because it was...

This is such a time with alcohol, smoking, and music
