about

I wrote this because I became fascinated by the dual meaning of “in time”, whether taken as “before it's too late” or “at a temporal intersection”.

lyrics

There was a boy who looked like me
In my personal alternate history.
He had a bottle as his closest friend.
Led him out to where the wild things run,
Where there's flirting and fighting and they call it fun.
Ahhh... true pals to the end.

Chorus:
But I'm... so glad I found you in time
And for all the times we've seen.
I'm... so glad I found you this time
Out of all the times there've been.

Who's the man with computer eyes,
And his briefcase logic built from dollar signs?
What's his name? Nobody seems to know.
Birthday party he turned twenty-two,
The one time he met someone who might have been you
Ahhh... many years ago.

[Chorus]

That old couple with their bitter screams,
Share their mutually-broken artificial dreams,
Surprising how much they can take.
Different faces, different skin and bone
And they wouldn't be together but their hearts alone.
Ahhh... choices that we make.

[Chorus x 2]

I'm... so glad I found you in time
I'm... so glad I found you in time
I'm... so glad I found you in time
