Part Time Believer Lyrics
[<i>Whistling</i>]
We've run out of reason
Losing sight of what it's supposed to be
A part time believer, till truth
We've somehow conceded this self-evasive solitude
It means way too much to me
And I hope you know, how lucky you are
And I remember sitting back on my balcony
I was'a listening to the Rolling Stones
See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead
Some kind of simple understated life
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so, man I hope so
[<i>Whistling</i>]
It's been way too long
It seems that I can't celebrate my meaning
For I am too young to mourn
And if it won't release
It pulls and it pushes me
Til I whither, til I whither, til I whither
And I hope you know, how lucky you are
Oh I remember sitting back on my balcony
I was'a listening to the Rolling Stones
See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead
Some kind of simple understated life
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so, man I hope so
Oh you dare,
You run like a lion
To defend your senses
And oh it seems
It cuts at the core
It's not the same my friend no more
Oh no

Losing sight of what it's supposed to be
A part time believer, till truth
We've somehow conceded this self-evasive solitude
It means way too much to me

See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead
Some kind of simple understated life
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so, man I hope so
It seems that I can't celebrate my meaning
For I am too young to mourn
And if it won't release
It pulls and it pushes me
Til I whither, til I whither, til I whither
I was'a listening to the Rolling Stones

So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt
See I was under the impression I was gonna lead

But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so, man I hope so
You run like a lion
To defend your senses
And oh it seems
It cuts at the core
It's not the same my friend no more
Oh no

I found this song to be very personal, I related it to my relationship to my father.
We've run out of reason Losing sight of what it's supposed to be A part time believer, till truth We've somehow conceded this self-evasive solitude It means way too much to me
We've run out of reason to even bother with our relationship- we have lost sight of what its meant to be like. 'part time believer' I believe that you might come back to me, to make it work, but then I see the truth, you don't come and I stop believing again. We're both on our own, and us being closer means way too muc to me.
I thought that the chorus was the memory from the childhood, 'waiting for my dad to come home.' Waiting for him to finally show up.
Oh you dare, You run like a lion To defend your senses And oh it seems It cuts at the core It's not the same my friend no more
The last verse, I have confronted him with the whole issue, how he was never there and now he is neglecting it and running away. I was trying really hard but it is hurting deep and, its not the same as how I thought it would be. He will never be my friend.
That's just the way I interpreted it.
