{{cquote| "At the time I wrote Good Riddance, I was breaking up with a girl that was moving to [[Ecuador]], and I was trying to be as understanding about it as I could. I wrote the song as kind of a [[bon voyage]]. I was trying not to be bitter, but I think it came out a little bit bitter anyway... I thought that calling the song "Time of Your Life" was just a little too level-headed for me, so I had to come up with something different"}}


The lyrics to this song are as follows
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road,
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go,
So make the best of this task, and don't ask why,
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time,

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right,
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
And hang them on a shelf in good health and good times
Tatoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right,
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right,
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right,
I hope you had the time of your life⏎
