Hard Target - Is It Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Something about...
Something about you...
There's something about you...
And I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Yo


[Verse 1]
It was his high school crush, he only lived up the street
And he would see her when they passed in the hall
(When they passed in the hall)
Wanted to take her on a date, maybe even to prom
But when he saw her he never asked her at all
(He never asked her at all)
And when he saw her he was shy, couldn't work up the nerve
He blended in with the crowd, so his purpose was served
He never saw a girl in life that was as perfect as her
Wishing moments were like the movies, but they certainly weren't
But one day
They bumped into each other, it was fate
His heart began racing, hands started to shake
Cause there was something on his mind that he wanted to say
Wanted to tell her how he felt and thought she ought to relate
She looked up and said that "I know you, you're that kid from that one class"
He tried to say something, but he just felt like a dumbass
Now he's starring at the ground, and he took him a breath
But then he heard the bell ring and he looked up and said:

[Hook]
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
You can't fight the way you feel
Cause all my life I thought it's real
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
I waited all night for a chance to say
And there ain't a damn thing to stand in my way
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go?

[Verse 2]
A few years down the road, he could feel it with time
Cause no matter how hard he tried, she was still on his mind
Same moment in the hole, he can't control it at all
Still regretting not fighting for that moment he lost
But he started a new life, got a job and house
And every now and then he dates, but never tries to go out
Cause there's a remnant of her still lingering there
And as he walks into his job, he thinks he's seeing her there
No wait
It is her, man, you gotta be kidding
The same girl he thinks about is right across from him sitting
But he's a man now, he ain't gonna give up this
No way he can now, this time he gets up quick
So he walks across the room and introduces himself
And she remembers who he is but he feels stupid as hell
And you can tell she's interested, but she wouldn't confess
So he glances at his watch and he looks up and says:

[Hook]
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
You can't fight the way you feel
Cause all my life I thought it's real
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
I waited all night for a chance to say
And there ain't a damn thing to stand in my way
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go?

[Verse 3]
You can hear wedding bells, people laughing
Holy matrimony
She found another man, it's all over for him
Now he thinking in his head, what he wouldn't give
What he might've said, no, what he could've did
He gets into his car then turns over the ignition
He's driving down a road, but nowhere is where it gets him
He pulls up to a temple, parks his car in the front
He has no idea what he's doing, but a part of him does
But then he walks into a church, hands starting to sweat
And everyone up in that room could hear his heart in his chest
Minutes are ticking, preacher says, "Dearly beloved-"
Then he yells out, "Please don't finish the sentence!
I got something I wanna say, and it needs to be said!"
She walked up to him, took a step to his chest
(She took a step to his chest)
And he was at a loss for words, trying to catch him a breath
She grabbed his hand, kissed his lips, looked at him and said:

[Hook] x2
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
You can't fight the way you feel
Cause all my life I thought it's real
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go? Is it time to go?
I waited all night for a chance to say
And there ain't a damn thing to stand in my way
But I keep thinking, I keep thinking
Is it time to go?
