Never A Good Time
NOTD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Old enough to know, "If you love her, let her go"
In another high and low, you gotta do whatever feels right
Young enough to break, just a little give, I take
I don't wanna walk away but I gotta do whatever feels right

Continental in my hotel lobby
You know I never meant to do you like that
I miss your laugh and, girl, I miss your body
But once it's broken then it won't go back

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Maybe your star sign will tell you why
And she said, "No, no, a million times no
You know I'd rather die than see you lettin' me go", but
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah

Hard enough to say, "If you love her, you can't stay"
But I got places to be, I'm due for chasin' down the skyline
Easier to wait, play it out and let it fade
But I wasn't built for that, yeah, stayin' isn't in my bloodline

Sentimental in my hotel lobby
You know I never meant to leave you like that
I miss your laugh and, girl, I miss your body
But here's the moment where we fade to black

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Maybe your star sign will tell you why
And she said, "No, no, a million times no
You know I'd rather die than see you lettin' me go", but
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah

(Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah)
(Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah)

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Maybe your star sign will tell you why
And she said, "No, no, a million times no
You know I'd rather die than see you lettin' me go", but
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah





(Never a good time to say, "Goodbye", yeah)
(Never a good time to say, "Goodbye")

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NOTD & The Band Camino's song "Never A Good Time" explore the dilemma of letting go of someone you love, even if it feels like the right thing to do. The first verse sets the tone for this theme, with the singer acknowledging that although he knows the classic saying "If you love her, let her go", it's still hard to do. He's young enough to want to hold on, but also knows he has to make choices that feel right for him. In the second verse, the singer expresses that it's hard to say goodbye, but he's got places to be and a life to chase. He's not built for staying in one place, and despite his sentimental feelings, there comes a moment where things need to fade to black.


The chorus reinforces the song's title and central theme, with the singer acknowledging that there's "never a good time to say goodbye." He doesn't want to wait, but he also doesn't want to hurt the person he loves. However, he acknowledges that maybe astrology will give them some insight into why they're struggling to part ways. The bridge of the song features a spoken word section from the female love interest, who declares that she'd rather die than see him leaving her, but ultimately, the song ends unresolved, with the singer unsure if he'll be able to find the right time to let go.


Overall, the lyrics of "Never A Good Time" explore the timeless theme of letting go of a love that's no longer right for you, even if it's painful and difficult to do. The song's message is one that many people can relate to, and the lyrics bring a raw and emotional power to the struggles of ending a relationship.
