Don't bide your time
'Cause it is almost over
And I know you're down
And I'll see you around
And I know it hurts
But you're just getting older
And I know you'll win
You'll do it once again
Just yesterday
It always seemed like such a dream
We're unstoppable, indestructable
Nothing happens to our machine
And there's no harm
At least nothing I can see
As for you, not so true
You couldn't choose where his road would lead
What a loss
You just lost all your sleep
And we've always thought
That this could never happen, you see
That it's so hard
You gotta get up on your feet
'Cause the only way, I gotta say
Is to move on through the week
Don't bide your time
'Cause it is almost over
And I know you're down
And I'll see you around
And I know it hurts
But you're just getting older
And I know you'll win
You'll do it once again
Sorry [x16]
(Sorry...) Happened to you [x4]
Don't bide your time
'Cause it is almost over
And I know you're down
And I'll see you around
And I know it hurts
But you're just getting older
And I know you'll win
You'll do it once again
I kinda feel as if its about a guy who has to break up with a girl he still loves because he's holding her down and he knows. He tells her he'll "still see her around." He tell her he's sorry because he knows she's hurt even though there's "no harm." meaning its a clean break up. And he tells the girl he knows she'll find someone else, someone better thus she'll win again. =/
that's terrible, but it makes sense. I kind of hope that's how my ex feels...

This song is about going out with someone and then you break it off and look back on the relationship and think about the times you thought that your relationship was 'unstoppable' and 'indestructable' .. Then towards the end of the song, Tom sings about how it hurts now, but you're getting older and you'll go out with 100 more guys and you'll be in this situation 100 more times.
its about getting OLDER and growing up! and moving on and maturing and getting wiser and leaving things behind. maybe it COULD be about a relationship... but its not just about that...
it reminded me of my friend so i sent it to her and she really liked it... i think she got my point. she even sent it to her friend... :) i luv this song
anyhoo i heard it was about going on tour and success and what not but yeh, part of that doesnt make sense to me but it kind of does...'we always thought this could never happen u see' 'that is so hard' so yeh it could be about how they didnt think anything big would happen and it did and how its hard but they have to just try... but i cant remember if i heard it from a reliable source or not, probably not. so yeh. but u know what u can look at it however u want to... a lot of artists like that people do that. this song seems to me like there is no particular message, but he did have a reason for writing it, but its one of those songs where its intended for everyone. im sure no matter what way u look at this song, someone can relate to it in one of those ways... i could look at this one at many different angles...
anyways like i always say, just ignore me cuz i never make any sense anyways.
dude...it's about being hurt now, and the singer...I guess Tom is feelin' you on being hurt, but it's gonna be ok, you'll get through it and grow strong.
I think its about someone who saw the window of oppurtunity but never took the chance and now is sorry they missed it and the singer is telling him it will come again.
I think it's about a relationship cut short because somebody suddenly felt differently about the other. And the other can't get over it and it hurting very badly, when the one that cut it off didn't mean to hurt them and knows that they won't be together again so just go on and move ahead. Life's not over yet, so get moving.
i love this song. a perfect ending to dude ranch. its a really good song
the firsy time i heard this song i started to like it. and i still love this song, everytime i sing it to my little sister and she go`s to sleep.
