about

What it's about : The therapeutic happiness of having more time in retirement

lyrics

A day to watch the world go by - you’re basking in the sunshine
But you can see things are not quite as you had thought
When you look around now you can notice things are different
People are not quite as nice when they’re wrapped up in a busy working day

Seeing how impatient many are, it’s quite revealing
And there seems to be no remedy for this poor citizenship
Scary self-reflection of the years you spent amongst them
But now you’ve found redemption in a time-rich reinvention of yourself

Time no longer runs away
The days feel like they’re long enough
Time has now become your friend
It’s all so weird - it used to be such a fight - now ‘if’ has become ‘when’

Suddenly a light bulb moment hits you in the face
Remembrance of how your time would waste away
You’re playing with a fiery theme - it doesn’t make for pleasant thinking
But you’re feeling liberated in your newly-found existence happily

Time no longer runs away
The days feel like they’re long enough
Time has now become your friend
It’s all so weird - it used to be such a fight - now ‘if’ has become ‘when’
