Just In Time Lyrics
And ever since I left it all
I really felt I let you down
But we could count stories with my sheets
Two lovers in a noisy town
The good times don't mean shit when I'm relying on telephone lines to keep you from crying
So you don't leave me
And I must pray
Forgive me for saying
"Was this a mistake?"
But we can dream
But it's a complicated mess
And what it comes down to is just me
What if we touch lips just this once
And a blindfold leads to sinning?
And she said
"Holding my hand makes me comfortable
And just surround me with loving
Baby
Not gonna wait around
Cause I'm falling down and you're leaving town"
Thought she was fearfully free
And I just made up my mind
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way
Invested all our time
For three great years we had a good scare
Now come give me a sign that you're just not messing with my mind
And I must pray
Forgive me for saying
"Was this a mistake?"
But we can dream
Holding my hand makes me comfortable
And just surround me with loving
Baby
Not gonna wait around
Cause I'm falling down and you're leaving town
Thought she was fearfully free
And I just made up my mind
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way
Invested all our time
For three great years we had a good scare
Now come give me a sign that you're just not messing with my mind
And I just made up my mind
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way
I really felt I let you down
But we could count stories with my sheets
Two lovers in a noisy town
The good times don't mean shit when I'm relying on telephone lines to keep you from crying
So you don't leave me
And I must pray
Forgive me for saying
"Was this a mistake?"
But we can dream
And what it comes down to is just me
What if we touch lips just this once
And a blindfold leads to sinning?
And she said
"Holding my hand makes me comfortable
And just surround me with loving
Baby
Not gonna wait around
Cause I'm falling down and you're leaving town"
Thought she was fearfully free
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way
Invested all our time
For three great years we had a good scare
Now come give me a sign that you're just not messing with my mind
Forgive me for saying
"Was this a mistake?"
But we can dream
And just surround me with loving
Baby
Not gonna wait around
Cause I'm falling down and you're leaving town
Thought she was fearfully free
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way
Invested all our time
For three great years we had a good scare
Now come give me a sign that you're just not messing with my mind
Just in time for you to leave me
Now that that's out of the way

I kind of want to say that it's about two people being together, and then he had to move off elsewhere, so they tried to hold a long distance relationship. That, more then likely, caused tons of emotional stress, and I think the whole concept of "I just made up my mind just in time for you to leave me" might signify that he finally decided to come home, but right before he did, she left him. Right or wrong, it's still an amazing song beyond all beliefe.
I'm not good at this whole interpretting music thing, but if I had to guess, I'd say this is about a guy who has to leave a girl behind and they've had some sort of complicated relationship. Or maybe its less literal, and him leaving town is him leaving her life? I don't know. But its a good song anyways.
It's about a girl, who proved EVERYONE wrong. I love this song.
Oh wait. Wrong song haha. Monkey is right.
this song is about the lead singer steve who is alwasy touring and away from home trying to keep a relationship with his girlfriend back in Rhode Island and in the end she leaves him.
