I wrote this the week Beginners was released. The narrator of this song is a middle-aged guy who has never really grown up describing his relationship with a person much younger than him. He goes on a trip to meet his partner’s family for the holidays and is just kind of taking an inventory of his l...
[Verse 1]
On the dark side of my thirties
All my baggage at the Hyatt
High in the museum
Trying to be quiet
Peanuts in the bleachers
Rings surrounding Saturn
Cutting down a redwood
Noticing a pattern
I like looking at the landscapes
Women wearing big hats
That’s just a clusterfuck of shapes
What’s so pretty about that?
Hiding out in nice apartments
Catholic schoolgirl uniforms
I think I was suicidal
Before you were even born
[Chorus]
But I have a lot of time
I have a lot of time
[Verse 2]
Well, you ask so many questions
I’m just making up the answers
"I'd Do Anything for Love"
Is a response to "Tiny Dancer"
Hummingbirds can beat their wings
Fifty thousand times a minute
I am your biggest cheerleader
Your smallest violinist
I am late to everything
And my OCD is clinical
I'm sorry I cannot calm down
It’s a matter of principle
You think you should take care of me
That makes me wanna let you
You put up with my tantrums
I'm the only one that gets you
[Chorus]
But you have a lot of time
You have a lot of time
[Verse 3]
Home for the holidays
I guess it means a lot
It's only been a year, but I don't wanna
Give it too much thought
You watch your family drink the Kool-Aid
Powerless to stop them
First time as an adult that you wish
You had been adopted
And I think it’s time to go
Curtain hook around your waist
Your face is buried in your hands
And there’s nothing I can say
Do my impression of John Malkovich
Critiquing food in prison
At first, it isn't funny
Then it is and then it isn't
[Chorus]
But I have a lot of time
I have a lot of time
I have a lot of time
I have a lot of time
