Time is a song by the American recording artist and actress Winnie Minami who goes by the mononym WINNIE. It is written and produced solely by Minami, created during her 8th month of pregnancy. Returning after a year's worth of a hiatus to focus on her family, [Time is another new sound for the 29-year-old singer, all 3 of her singles so far giving listeners a different perspective of her artistry. Time is an acoustic pop song performed with an acoustic guitar and steering vocals from Winnie Minami. Lyrically the song reflects on WINNIE's life and how it's all about to change after her surprise pregnancy. Released on Mother's Day, the emotional track goes over all of Minami's regrets and fears, revealing that through her pregnancy, she's realized her true calling. Critics have praised the track, comparing the song to a lot of country classics, describing it as an "overdue-coming-of-age anthem for first time mothers everywhere". Dedicated to her daughter Minnie Minami, Winnie sings, "How can I give 18 when I just lost 29?" doubting her ability to be a mother but hoping that she'll be given enough time to learn.
WINNIE
Wasted all this time chasing after pointless men
Wasted all this time knowing but doubting who I am
Because when you're young, you swear you know the sun, you think it'll always rise
You swear there'll be chances, even as they walk out of your life
Wasted all this time trying to be like other girls
Wasted all this thinking it was the end of the world
Because when you're young, you just do that, it comes naturally
Think if you can't live the good life, you'll never die in peace
But I'm old enough to know
Better is just what doesn't bring me to tears
I've been doing it wrong
But I had plans to cherish these years
How can I give 18 when I just lost 29?
I never could get this time thing right
Wasted all this time chasing trying to be an adult
Wasted all this time not doing the things that I want
Because when you're young, you just do that, it's almost instinct
Think if you don't live their life, then you aren't living
Wasted all this time, finally had a hold on my life
Some knock on wood so as not to jinx it, now I know why
If I was young, I would go back, the sun would still rise
I'd still have chances, you'd never have a life
But I'm old enough to know
Better is just what doesn't bring me to tears
I've been doing it wrong
But I had plans to cherish these years
How can I give 18 when I just lost 29?
I never could get this time thing right
The timing's just never on my side
Nothing's ever on my side
But as your protector, I'll be way better than mine
No matter what, I'll always be on your side, your side, your side, your side, your side, your side
Instantly, I'll know
Better is just what keeps you from tears
For once, there'll be nothing wrong
But I'll cry a river every year
I've lost 29 and I'll be in debt for 50 more
Wasted all this time and now I need more, need more
Wasted all this time and now I need more, need more
Wasted all this time and now I need more for youEdited by user 15 May 2017 10:17:06(UTC)
