about

An old song I completely rewrote a couple months ago. I was itching to play electric guitar again and the timing for finishing the lyric and recording this song seemed perfect. Takes me back to a time when I first fell in love with guitar and the blues at 19. In some ways, this song is literally about ending a relationship, but on a deeper level, Just In Time To Say Goodbye represents a letting go of the old parts within us that have caused us to miss out on opportunities. Well, it's time to let go of the fear and move forward.

lyrics

Just in Time to Say Goodbye
© Jason LaPrade 2021

Chorus:
You're just in time to say goodbye, a little late to change my mind
There's nothing you can do
You've always held the power, now this is your final hour
This time I'm leaving you

Verse 1:
Ticktock your time is up, says the clock up on the wall
Hours roll on, you don't call
Each minute slipping by, you steal a piece of my heart
If I let this go much longer, you'll tear it all apart

Verse 2:
I was anxiously awaiting, for you to return
Sick of feeling nothing but concern
Weighs so heavy on my mind, I paced a hole through the floor
I knew we had to face it, soon as you walked through the door

Verse 3:
We go round and round, I grow tired of the lies
No matter how you spin it, I cry
Every day goes by, more lonely than the last
You broke me once too often, it's time to break the cast
