Time? Why? Explain Lyrics by Sandtimer

Everything Is On Hold

2019

It’s that sudden moment when you’re swimming out from the beach-
You feel the current turning, it’s pulling you out of reach
You’ve been splashing around, looking at all the life
But now you’re flailing, borne out on the tide

And it’s a cold, cold day, when it happens
But there is one long life leading on from this moment

There in the photographs, the people are all smiling
Were they really such good times, or was it just good timing?
Sometimes I wonder where the photos are of me
A summer’s day in the cool shade of a forest full of conifer trees

And it’s a cold, cold day, when it happens
But there is one long life leading on from this moment

Stand tall in the moonlight, stagger through the day
There’s no glamour in summertime; the fields are just too far away
You may feel like you’re on borrowed time, but all they do is steal
You may feel caught in the headlights, but they’re asleep at the wheel

And it’s a cold, cold day, when it happens
But there is one long life leading on from this moment
