What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Time was once just a clock to me
2
And life was just a book a biography
3
Success was something you just had to be
4
And I would spend myself unknowingly
5
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
6
And all I'd have to lose is my point of view
7
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
8
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
9
An apple will spoil if it's been abused
10
A candle disappears when it's been used
11
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane
12
And I can't leave forever on a train
13
And you know that I'd survive if I never spoke again
14
And all I'd have to lose is my vanity
15
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
16
Till last night when you sat and talked with me.
17
You can smile for the lack of something else to do
18
And no one will laugh and point a finger at you
19
If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad
20
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?
21
I thought I'd heard and seen enough to get along
22
Till you said something neither of us knew
23
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
24
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
