Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme

Nauseous adrenalin

Like breakin' up a dogfight

Like a deer in the headlights
Bm A
Frozen in real time
G
I'm losing my mind
G D G D
Time to move on, time to get going
G D Bm A
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
G D G D
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing

| a Conscientious objector was a person who was opposed to a war (most noteablly vietnam) due to their moral, reglious or ethical beliefs. So what hes really saying is that he was in love with a hippy. | |

| Broken skyline, which way to love land Which way to something better Which way to forgiveness Which way do I go This stanza really speaks to me, it has the same sort of tone to me as Wildflowers. To me it means to find that inner peace, forgive myself and others. It is time to move on but which way do I go? After being caught up in something for long enough and breaking away from it its hard to figure out how to move on, and which way to turn. | |

| Tootsie hit the meaning of the song right on. Although you might not be sure what is to come, it has to be better than what's happening now. It's time to move past this bad thing that is in your life. I really like this song...always helps me get out of a rut. | |

| Time to move on with your life, time to get past something that is only hurting you, time for something better. Time to forgive that person who hurt you, but also time to get away from them. She's an honest defector Conscientious objector Now her own protector I think this means he does love her and cares about her but its time for him to stop protecting her and time for her to start helping herself. Fantastic song, has helped me to see when I am stuck in something unhealthy. | |
