As someone told me the other day, some things stick and others don't. Good Riddance -- as played by Green Day -- really speaks to that. (And its guitar chord structures are so eerily similar to the way Lennon plays his 12-string in You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.)
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
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 it's 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 it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
