Owl City - Good Time Lyrics
Lyrics
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then.
Doesn't matter where,
It's always a good time there.
Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then.
It's always a good time!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh whoa
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Meaning & Inspiration
Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time," released on July 24, 2012, is an effervescent declaration of seizing the present moment, a sentiment deeply resonant with biblical teachings on living fully in each day. While not overtly a Christian song in its lyrical content or origin, its core message can be powerfully illuminated through the lens of faith, particularly passages that encourage joy, gratitude, and mindful appreciation for God's creation. The song paints a vivid picture of shedding worries and embracing the sheer delight of connection and shared experience, a secular echo of the biblical call to rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances. Consider the Apostle Paul's encouragement in Philippians 4:4: "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice." "Good Time" captures this spirit of uninhibited celebration, urging listeners to cast off anxieties and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures that life offers. The infectious energy and upbeat tempo mirror the biblical emphasis on a cheerful heart as good medicine, as Proverbs 17:22 states, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." The song’s narrative centers on a shared experience of unadulterated joy, a communal embrace of the present that aligns with the biblical concept of fellowship and mutual encouragement. It speaks to the profound impact of positive human interaction, reminding us that shared moments of happiness can be a powerful testament to the goodness that permeates the world, even if not explicitly attributed. The jubilant spirit of "Good Time" encourages a conscious decision to focus on the blessings that surround us, fostering an attitude of thankfulness that is a cornerstone of a life lived in faith. It’s a reminder that, regardless of life's complexities, the capacity for joy and gratitude remains a precious gift, one that, when embraced, can transform ordinary moments into something truly extraordinary, much like how the Psalmist declared in Psalm 118:24, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
