Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
by Green Day
Yes, I know about his girlfriend, I know about the interpretations, but this song, to me, represents living and enjoying the unpredictable, to make memories, to "Have The Time Of Your Life."
All to soon time (youth) will past you by and all you will be left with is the memories, make some good ones to last you the rest of your life, everyday. They will also give you lots to enjoy when you get older.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So, make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So, take the photographs and still-frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life
