Song Notes
Originally recorded in the Dookie sessions but they felt it didn't fit the album. The song was eventually released as a b-side to the Insomniac single, 'Brain Stew/Jaded'. Conan McCallum plays violin on the re-recorded Nimrod version of the song. The Nimrod single was released with a slight title change, calling it 'Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)' rather than the actual album title of 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'.
Lyrics
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
