Day, Howie - Perfect Time Of Day Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day

[Chorus:]
And you wont feel a thing
And you wont recall anything at all

[Verse 2:]
Close your eyes and take your last breath
Press your head aside, the end is the beginning
Everyone between is so lost, so lost.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Let your colors collide
The time is so fleeting
I quit running behind
Oh, I know your meaning
You look for
For what you want to say
And you look for
The perfect time of day

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Wooooo it's the perfect time of day
Come on now
It's the perfect time of day
it's the perfect time with you

Day, Howie Perfect Time Of Day Comments
  1. A.... Y....

    Very biblical words - it’s the truth.
    Seek and you will find ❤️🩸

  2. S.... b....

    Another underrated artist!!

  3. m.... t....

    i cant stop listening to his voice i am addicted to it still.. going 4years

  4. D.... L....

    I 💗 U
    Bella!

  5. N.... ....

    Who’s listening in 2019?

  6. R.... ....

    My fav songs. #Collide #Kryptonite #livinonaprayer

  7. R.... ....

    #Howieday

  8. R.... ....

    My favourite song is colide

  9. J.... ....

    I heard this song on the last day of my brothers life. We didn’t know it at the time. A family member bought me this album for my birthday.

    My brother got into an accident on my birthday. The family member gave me this at the hospital a few days later. I heard this song while waiting on an update from my brothers scans/tests. It was the last song I heard before I learned that he would not be capable of living without machines.

    The perfect time of day (to hear the song) the last day of your life (brother) and you won’t feel a thing (because you’re already gone) and you won’t recall, anything at all (because your brain stopped working days ago)

    Close your eyes and take your last breath (because we pulled the plug and you couldn’t sustain yourself. I watched you fight a losing battle and heave for air)

    ....

    The end is the beginning and every point between. Some are lost. Oh. Some are lost. (Because the end of your life brought me and our brother back to square one. How to escape the abuse? We had a plan with you, but without you all was lost for us. You were the oldest. Our savior. Our best friend. Our last hope. We had to revisit all our past trauma and the death of our hopes and dreams without you.)

    ....

    And you won’t feel a thing. And you won’t recall anything at all. (A lifetime of pain and struggle is over for you now. Go find peace. )

    Let your colors collide. Oh the time is so fleeting. (You had so much potential. I wish I appreciated you more. I wish you had a better life. It was far too short.)

    I quit running behind. Oh I know your meaning. (You taught me to fight for myself. Through your life and your death .)

    You look too far for what you want to say (you still had so much guidance left to give but didn’t quite know how. You were careful with how you told us things, to protect us.)

    And you look for the perfect time of day (the last letter you left me said you knew there was never a good time and you’d come back as soon as you could. You fought through that last week of your life. Maybe for us. Maybe purely on instinct. I’ll never know.)

    And you won’t feel a thing. (I hope you went peacefully, without pain. Because it didn’t look that way. It didn’t sound that way..)

    And you won’t recall anything at all (if you didn’t go peacefully, I hope you don’t remember that suffering after your physical life ended)

  34. T.... ....

    Good stuff.

  35. C.... A....

    is amazing the voices of he ♥

  36. J.... C....

    This reminds me of the days of my youth (early 20s), when I felt on top on the world.

    J.... C....

    +Mr Lost Life happened. Being discharged from the military, lost my grandfather, relationships that didn't end well will change your perspective.

    J.... C....

    +Jennifer Clark sorry to hear that. Mind if I ask how old you are now?

    J.... C....

    34 here I know what u mean

    J.... C....

    33 , same here :) , used to play his stuff at open mic in college. crazy how music has changed...

  37. B.... ....

    This song is supposed to be supportive and positive but it really just sounds more like he's egging you on to commit suicide.

    B.... ....

    I think it is really about losing yourself and saying goodbye to an old life, an old ideology and moving in a new direction. That's how I always took it.

    B.... ....

    Beck fuck yoy

  38. m.... ....

    Great song- Reminds me of my youth ( when I was 30 ) and how someone can stay by your side when you are at your lowest low.

    m.... ....

    that's cool cause I'm 30 now and I don't feel that old yet. Any advice you could give?

  39. S.... ....

    This song is still awesome! I made a cover of Collide on my channel. You guys might like it :D

  40. E.... M....

    This song just grew on me when it first came out.Still sounds good today.

  41. H.... M....

    Howie day xan u make a new song please

  42. K.... T....

    This is the perfect song about losing your friends to drugs. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

  43. t.... o....

    Howie Day is the Best!!!

  44. d.... j....

    awesome :) I love it

  45. J.... S....

    justin bieber and miley cyrus suck! lol,,,old rock bands and music still the best!

    J.... S....

    is this really 'rock' though? I don't even know how to classify tis kind of music

    J.... S....

    @Kevin Williams Vampire Diaries kind of music haha

    J.... S....

    +Kevin Williams I'd say soft rock

  46. f.... ....

    him/her doesn't matter. maybe should refer as IT, since no1 can obviously determine ITs gender ^^

  47. D.... O....

    This song has theosophical and philosophical implications.Its speaking of your transition from one plane to the next and it speaks on perfecting yourself before your actual death

  48. f.... ....

    talentless.. i bet you mean justin bieber. i know it hurts me too. how is it possible that charts are dominated by transexual little bitches like him?

  49. h.... ....

    both of his first 2 albums (in my opinion) were very strong. I think he had all the ingredients to be a superstar - but he kind of fell off the rails. It's unfortunate. Maybe there's still time for Howie.

  50. C.... H....

    Excellent!!!! perfect time to write and perform a great song in this time of musical
    garbage

  51. A.... ....

    The perfect time of my day is the one when i'm listening to this song

  52. R.... P....

    He is actually talking about the moment of dying. He is sending the message of how volatile our life is and to supposedly be prepared for that inevitable fate.

  53. m.... ....

    i got to agree.seriously. I stop listening to the charts now.

  54. M.... D....

    His voice helps me settle down to healthy sleep. Thank you 3

  55. T.... R....

    OMG I LOVE THIS SONG

  56. M.... ....

    I use to sit in the sky box at the university of maine while howie would sit there and sip his jack and coke. The good days.

  57. j.... ....

    wow this period of music is GONE--WTF

  58. g.... ....

    he is perfect

  59. D.... B....

    he has very legit hair. very legit indeed.

  60. d.... ....

    yeah man it's all these fakes using auto-tune and fake overused, emotion-less techno beats.

  61. R.... M....

    beautiful...♥

  62. J.... C....

    i love this song:)

  63. v.... ....

    This is probably the faggiest song I've ever heard but it brings back memories to when my dog died. It came on the radio when we were bringing him to the vet to be put down. I didn't know the dog up until its life was almost over but it was the first dog I ever cared for. The only reason why I still remember this song is because my father jokingly talked about this being my dog's theme song in the car ride.

  64. d.... ....

    Needs more views!!!

  65. A.... S....

    @alwayslovinxo amen to that music sucks now days i dont even wanna call it music!

  66. C.... G....

    I miss when music like this would dominate the charts. now it's mostly (not all!) talent-less people who pay for their fame. It's songs like this that you can feel their emotion. now a days music is so empty..

  67. s.... ....

    @SuperOrange7991: yes, he does everything himself

  68. D.... J....

    solid song. if you've never checked out his old stuff pre-band, i highly recommend it!

  69. c.... ....

    Howie is amazing. <3 I did a cover of his song "Collide" if you guys wanna check it out on my channel. (: Thank you! <3

  70. M.... N....

    I thought this song was about suicide but the video doesn't match that thought...

  71. C.... ....

    I really like this song :)
    Howie Day always manages to make amazing songs, like "Collide" <3
    Lovelovelove this!
    Heard this on Summerland just today :') was the ending song to Episode 2, Season 1.

  72. j.... ....

    Superbly crafted song!

  73. Y.... t....

    It's just the moment where he looks a lot like kris Allen!!!

  74. J.... P....

    @teoweiyang Whats so good about 1:04?

  75. Y.... t....

    1:04 OMG

  76. M.... T....

    @teoweiyang oh my god

  77. Y.... t....

    He looks just like Kris Allen from the side! Gosssssssh :D

  78. T.... V....

    love every Howie Day's songs

  79. M.... T....

    i love not to find the perfect gurl. i love to find and see an imperfect person perfectly

  80. M.... ....

    NO DISLIKES IS RIGHT!

  81. F.... ....

    hmmm nice ;}

  82. h.... ....

    all i was doing was searching my name and fond a great singer

  83. J.... K....

    Perfect Time of HOWIE Day. lol

  84. J.... ....

    Very underrated musician right here.

  85. V.... L....

    i just realise that if you guys start complimenting or treating the average looking chick well, you'll get all the hot chicks coming after you.

  86. E.... V....

    @ChefChrisDay it did have a single release, before collide. it didn't take off. he was on every talk show playing it and it played on the radio here for a short period of time.

  87. P.... ....

    Didn't he lock up a girl in a restroom for turning him down?

  88. C.... D....

    I still never understood why this didn't get a single release. I think this would have been great as a radio edit, certainly for 2003 anyway.

  89. C.... ....

    @MisterLTAV they also censor their videos..really bad. sometimes they skip scenes in music videos..censor out the stupidest things.. liike..they censor out the word pistol in a music video i saw. vevo is okay for some music..but i can not stand to have my music censored :/

  90. s.... ....

    soogood

  91. G.... s....

    Awsooome O.O

  92. d.... ....

    @PopCulture20 and also the slower dl speed of the video, sucks!

  93. L.... D....

    @reaper286 will please someone reveal to me why people hate Vevo? I'm not quite educated on the subject.

  94. L.... T....

    If you're a fan of acoustic music check out my page and hopefully you'll like what you hear

    The Keepsake

  95. C.... ....
