Where'd All the Time Go?by Dr. Dog

Album: Shame, Shame (2010) License This Song  lyrics

Songfacts®:

• This song is about the fleetingness of time and middle-age bewilderment at mortality. Time is always on the move until death, then it stops "in the blink of an eye."
• This song was originally written and recorded by the band in the early 2000s, then disappeared for a long time before cropping up again on the Shame, Shame album.
• The song soundtracked the closing scene of episode three in the second series of Netflix's television series. Outer Banks.
• The track went viral on TikTok in 2021 after users utilized the social media platform's reverse shapeshifting creative effect. Using the line "Where'd all the time go?" TikTokkers morphed childhood images of themselves into where they are today.
