	yeah, Poptarts047, especially eggos! actually, i agree with the previous posts about procrastination...

No Picture I fought the la Average	#2 by I fought the law and the law kicked my ass I never learn do i...?? at Oct 1, 1984 at 4:25 PM EST
	I agree that the song is about going after dreams, aspirations, etc...But the lyrics posted here are a slight bit wrong I think...I thought the last part was "When you procastinate you choose lies" The posted lyrics make more sense, but Brandon has a way of pronouncing things oddly....Who knows.

No Picture freekymayne Wanna Be	#3 by freekymayne at Jan 29, 1987 at 4:47 AM EST
	I think it's about the fact the too many people wait around and put things off because they're either afraid to do something or just don't want to. You should just do things when you feel it or when you want to because that's when it's true, if you know you want to do something, just do it.

No Picture RANDOM Lead Player	#4 by RANDOM Doom at May 14, 1987 at 7:37 PM EST
	You know, I'm kinda thinking a certain shade of green symbolizes jealousy. Like how he's talking about what are you waiting for. He wants this girl to like him and crap and so he's like do you want to get jealous (you want what you don't have) so he's asking if you want a certain shade of green. Remember when you procrastinate you choose last. . . it makes sense to me. Its all jealousy.

	It's basically saying the motivation is there so what the fuck are you waiting for! -Blake 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next

	your's doesn't. sure you're entitled to your own opinion, but to assume that everyone know's it's a druggie song, that is stupid. this song is saying to grab a hold of life, and down just stay still when you have a per fect chance to move ahead. to not sit around while your world is edging you to move ahead.

No Picture nick Average	#7 by nick caldwell at Dec 27, 1999 at 7:24 PM EST
	I don't see this song being abotu marijuana at all (and for all I know, I may be the only person) To me, this song is a lot like Drive. It tells you that you are the only one that can make your decisions, and do what you need to do. Don't procrastinate and wait for the right moment, or green light, if it never comes or you miss it, you'll never know what might have happened

No Picture Caitlin Rhythm Player	#8 by Caitlin Carlisle at Mar 28, 2000 at 7:23 PM EST
	Does it really matter? This song rocks so well. Incubus' best work by far. This song gets me going every time I hear it.

No Picture Ian Average	#9 by Ian at Sep 19, 2007 at 6:07 PM EST
	thinking it is just another drug song is bogus. do you really think he's talking about that. even if it is, which it isn't, the traffic one has a point.
