Fine for Now Lyrics

Cover art for Fine for Now lyrics by Grizzly Bear

There was time, it took time. (all the while)

There is time, so much time. There is time, so much time.

... The first line in this takes place in the future tense. The Second and third line take place in the present tense

This touches on the cliche that in the moment things seem to stretch for a very long time (watching a clock, or the timer on the microwave) But when you look back, it seems like it went too quick.

As for the the rest of the lyrics I would have to say AlfiePark is dead on. Hesitation, or procrastination making him lose what could have been 'Milestone moments'

But I do believe he is talking in future tense because he is wasting time now, but doesnt want to be for fear of losing time.

but i might have tried too hard to make this song about my life

My Interpretation

"but i might have tried too hard to make this song about my life"

haha... can't say i've ever done that before ;)
