Song Analysis Five for fighting 100 years
I'm 15... for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreamin'
Countin' the ways to where you are
I'm 22... for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15... There's never a wish
Better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33... for a moment
Still the man, But you see I'm a they
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind
I'm 45... for a moment
The sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15... I'm all right with you
15... There's never a wish
Better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm 99... for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreamin'
Countin' the ways to where you are
15... There's still time for you
22... I feel her too
33... You're on your way
Every day's a new day
15... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
15... There's never a wish
Better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live.

Theme:
In this song, the writer is combining partly a love song, 'Countin' the ways to where you are', partly saying how fast your life goes, 'half-time goes by, suddenly your wise, in the blink of an eye, 67 is gone'. The whole song is going through the singers life, and picturing every part of it and basically telling you to value your life for it goes really fast. The line, 'I'm 45... for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis' is talking bout mid-life crisis's, and the line directly after, 'Chasing the years of my life' is talking about how people react to their mid-life crisis. The easy cliché shows them going out to buy a sports car, but
