When It's Time Lyrics
The words get trapped in my mind
I'm sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause from the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
But then I need your voice
As a key to unlock all the love thats trapped in of me
So tell me when it's time to say I love you
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand its 'cause I want to
We're all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I love you
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What is really on their mind instead they just hide away
And yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guide them and help along the way
So tell me when its time to say I love you
So tell me when its time to say I love you
I'm sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause from the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
But then I need your voice
As a key to unlock all the love thats trapped in of me
That when I take your hand its 'cause I want to
We're all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I love you
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What is really on their mind instead they just hide away
And yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guide them and help along the way
So tell me when its time to say I love you

Great Song! Billie wrote it to Addie when he was 19!
This is a beautiful song. Billie Joe really out did himself. iF Billie Joe ever put out a solo record I bet the majority of the songs on it would most likely be love ballads, break up song, heart warmers. He's written over 40 songs all on the piano. Don't get me wrong i love it if they put out another punk rock album like Dookie or Insomniac but I think the next step for Green Day is ballads. they've been toying around the idea for 13 years but I personally think it's time for Green Day to show there softer side.
But that's just my opinion
In my opinion, every man should be made to listen to this song before starting a relationship! Why can't more men be like him? It's not asking too much of a man to either express how he feels or just say, "I'm clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff, so drop a hint when I need it." Also, I'd have to say his marriage puts all those Hollywood "irreconcilable differences" divorces to SHAME!

I saw Green Day live on Saturday at Wembley Stadium and Billie did this live in the acoustic encore, at the end of the song the whole audience went 'Aawww' :) he was getting a bit choked up and it was adorable. The song is so beautiful, I cry every time I hear it :)
I saw them at Wembley Stadium too. I cried when he sang this, especially because we was so emotional as he did so. It was incredible.
