Most of the Time Lyrics
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive, I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion until it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was with her
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where I went
I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time
it's not the end of the greiving period. he is talking about how he is over his girl. but he's not. he is lying to imself. that's why he says all that stuff most of the time. he still loves her, and can't get over her. he never gets ver he that's the problem.
Love this song. Like fastsingerz says hes trying to convince himself that hes over this girl but he knows hes not, just easier to say your over them than to actually be there.
convincing yourself that the girl is out of your mind. that you've forgotten them and moved on. that you have forgotten the relationship and there is nothing to remember...
...most of the time
so identifiable. i love this.
Beautiful, sad, sexy. He describes that "end of the grieving process" feeling so perfectly.
lovely song. it's in high fidelity. quite fitting for the movie.
Great song. I heard it for the first time on High Fidelity, which is a great film and even better book. This song reminds me of what it's like to feel the pain of separating.
sophie zelmani does a great cover of this song on the soundtrack to masked and anonymous. anytime i hear any version of this song, either dylan's, or zelmani's cover, or ani difranco's cover, i stop in my tracks. it's one of those songs that everyone can relate to at some point in their lives.
i also heard it in high fidelity one thing i always liked about bob dylan was he never tried to make things seen "pretty" he just told it like it was
it reminds me of an old Sinatra song, I don't know the name, but maybe you do:
I get along without you very well, of course I do......
