"Time Won't Let Me Go"

I like The Bravery. Nothing too exciting about this group but their one song, "Time Won't Let Me Go" for some damn reason hits home with me everytime it pops through my headphones.

What gives lyrics of a mainstream song so much power? You could be 16 or 80 and love the song because it's so hazy and memory filled. I haven't seen the music video and I never plan to because I think it would kill my own 'mental-video' that I have for it. It's just like when you read an amazing book and then see the movie and the movie ALWAYS kills/disappoints you because it replaced your more illustrative version brought on by the book.

And if you have NO CLUE as to where I'm going just check out the lyrics and you'll get at what I'm talking about:

"Whenever I look back
On the best days of my life
I think I saw them all on T.V.
I am so homesick now for
Someone that I never knew
I am so homesick now for
Someplace I will never be

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But time won't let me go

I never had a 'Summer of 69'
Never had a Cherry Valance of my own
All these precious moments
You promised me would come in time
So where was I when I missed mine?

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If you gave me back those years
I'd do it all better I swear
Time won't let me go

Ba ba ba ba ba...

If I could go back once again
I would change everything, yeah
If I could go back once again
I'd do it all so much better

Time won't let me go
Time won't let me go
If I could do it all again
I'd go back and change everything
But you won't ever let me go

Ba ba ba ba ba..."

**WOTD has been this thing going on since my H.S. days. Yeah, odd I know. I used to think of random words each day and then attempt to use them as often as I could throughout the day. Often times my father would help out and through in a word that I wouldn't typically know and then expect me to give him the definition. And now thinking about it, one of my boyfriends from back in the day would also participate. But as time went on and the haze of collegiate years helped at dimishing the good habit. But I'm back baby! So watch for the new WOTD. It's a scary look into my mind/mood of that day**
