Thank you..but his pants are hanging pretty down

Here's how i interpret the lyrics, in a way makes the most logical sense:

Words get trapped in my mind,

Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do.

'Cause the first day you came into my life,

All time ticks around you

But then I need your voice

As the key to unlock all the love trapped in me

So tell me when it's time to say I love you.

All I want is you to understand,

That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.

We are all born in a world of doubt.

But there's no doubt,

I figured out.

I love you.

I've been longing for

All the losers that were meant to take the time to say,

What was really on their mind, instead

They just hide away.

Yet they'll never have someone like you to back them and help along the way.

Or tell them when it's time to say I love you

So tell me when it's time to say I love you.

Oh my god, we have a genius on GDC You, have just made my week.

I concur!

Good job on that interpretation!

I think this should be the b-side for the 21st Century Breakdown single.

I have a feeling that it will be.

I hope it is!!

it's such a lovely song!!!

[pau72]

what a lovely song ..I can imagine billie in the middle of the wedding singing with the guitar

(so cute )

[04rebhop]

I just listened to it and it sounds really nice. I hope they play this on one of the dates when i see them.

[dreaming]

I think it should be "insafe" in the lyric, not "instead", right?

Words get trapped in my mind

Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do

'Cause the first day you came into my life

All time ticks around you

But then I need your voice

As the key to unlock all the love that trapped in me

So tell me when it's time to say I love you

All I want is you to understand

That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to

We are all born in a world of doubt

But there's no doubt

I figured out...I love you

I've been longing for

All the losers that were meant to take the time to say

What was really on their mind insafe

They just hide away

Yet they'll never have

Someone like you to back them and help them on the way

Or tell them when it's time to say I love you

So tell me when it's time to say I love you

[Minority_GD]

This song is stuck in my head ♥

[Sarahnade.]

I'm assuming it's another song for Adrienne.

Pretty pretty.

[Masked]

"Tell me when it's time" For being romance-intolerant, this tune is nice.

Did anyone ripped it off? I really want it, but I can't find it anywhere.

Err... GDA download of the week?

EDIT: Oh, wait, did you mean video?

[basKT_case90]

what is the official title of this song?

is it really 'tell me when it's time to say i love you', because that's kinda long.

ive heard people refer to it as 'when it's time' (much shorter)

has official name ever been made public?

No, not the video.

I know about GDA download, but the quality is awful, and I wanted so see is there anyone who has a better version.

But thanks anyways.

I'm not sure, but I think it was called "Tell me when it's time to say I love you" in Heart Like A Handgrenade. I think there isn't an official name yet.

On the American Idiot program flyer they handed out, it is listed as "When It's Time"

[Supermodel*Robot]

I read that Billie wrote it when he was 19 for Adie.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was that old. So it just sat around for years before he pulled it out around AI era when he sang it on HLAHG and then randomly played it at shows during the 21CB tour?

Seems so. It's very SOSH in a lyrical sense. He does tend to do that though, I mean he hung onto Good Riddance for quite awhile too.

[misslyssx]

i put this on my ipod the other night .. i can't stop listening!

[MusicGrl1986]

Needs to be recorded and released.

That is all.

This.

Yes, this is the "official name." Good thing, too - the rest of it is a mouthful!

woah, i was thinking 2004-ish.

but i like this idea better, i enjoy all of his little early love songs, especially from the Kerplunk era

man i know i always say this, but there are no lyrics...from this little brat from the bay area.....in the world that could compare to anything else i've ever heard.

what a wonderful song, lyricist and band we have here!
