Good Timing
Ryan McMahon Lyrics

The lyrics of Ryan McMahon's "Good Timing" highlight the uncertainty that comes with relationships and good timing. McMahon questions whether the good timing of being with someone will eventually turn into bad timing as the song progresses. He wonders if the person he's with will choose to walk with him or leave him stranded as soon as everyone else has left. Despite having an angel in his life, he admits to feeling scared and having "nine lives with maybe one to spare," indicating a sense of fragility and vulnerability in his current situation.

The chorus highlights the theme of good timing and the uncertainty that surrounds it. McMahon repeatedly asks if it's good timing or bad timing that the person he's with has, possibly indicating that he's scared that he's lost his sense of timing in life or love. As the song progresses, McMahon talks about the end of an event, a time when things have finished, and the looming sense of dread of the day ending before it has even started. He mentions having a "fishbowl-head in the clouds," meaning he's daydreaming, but the "voices" he's hearing are getting louder and more insistent. This could indicate a struggle with anxiety or depression.

Towards the end of the song, McMahon mentions that their good timing may not last, as there's a sense of urgency to hear his story, implying it might be his last opportunity to tell it. The final line, "Just a glimpse before I disappear," emphasizes his fear of losing the opportunity to share his story and possibly losing himself in the process.

Overall, the lyrics of "Good Timing" convey a sense of transience and uncertainty in relationships and timing, with a hint of sadness and vulnerability.
