Time To Go
Mr. Jones & The Previous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I deeply hope you'd say so
I really made my day
And time,
Is all around to get the countdown
And now it's time to go
I feel there's lots of love around here
We are one and one soul
Believe me I must go
My life has to be saved
And it's all above
Believe me I must go
There's no way around
So,
As everything is said
We'll do without congratulations
We have already made it
And now,
I won't be ever fooled
To run aground in isolation
For me it's never more
The lyrics to Mr. Jones & The Previous's song Time to Go revolve around the theme of leaving and moving on, and the mixed emotions that come with it. The song is addressed to someone who the singer has shared a deep connection with and is now saying goodbye to. The first verse begins with the singer expressing hope that the other person feels ready to say goodbye as well. The second line, "I deeply hope you'd say so," implies that the singer is unsure if the other person is on the same page.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotions involved in leaving. The singer acknowledges the love that exists between them and how they have grown to know each other on a deep level. However, the singer must leave, and they seem to be addressing the other person directly, saying "Believe me I must go" twice. The lines "My life has to be saved" and "There's no way around" suggest that the singer is leaving for their own well-being, and perhaps this goodbyes has been a long time coming.
The bridge of the song ties everything together. The singer acknowledges that everything that needs to be said has been said, and they do not need congratulations on their achievements. The final line, "For me it's never more," suggests that the singer is resolute in their decision to leave and will not let the past hold them back from moving forward.

I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance the silence down through the morning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
Uh huh, yeah
Cut up, Maria
Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes
Yeah
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me
Smilin' in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I'm gon' paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me
Looked into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
I don't think so
She's looking at me
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely
Said I'm never gonna be lonely
I wanna be a lion
Yeah, everybody wanna pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to believe
Yeah
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, ah son
That's just about as funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television, I want to see me
Staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why, and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me
I'm wanna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars

The guy talks about this blonde girl he liked the look of... but he settled for the dark haired Latina girl because she was dancing sexy for him... after she showed some interest. "She's suddenly beautiful"
And when someone accepts you for who you are (the best person you will ever be) that makes you feel beautiful.. <3
the era in which we develop at the fastest rate is our teenage years... not just physically but also emotionally and most of all mentally.
He talks about wanting to be a lion but then just passing as a cat. Again it's accepting reality.
Life looks good during the period when you are developing. I'm not sure anybody can ever live up to their own expectations (no matter what success you think they have in their field)
He wants to paint that picture with lots of colours... but then when he looks at it it's just 50 shades of grey.
@chicken
