Good Riddance (Time of your life) Green Day's song Please can someone explain me why the writter used "had" in this next phrase: "It`s something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life" I don't understand the way they use that "had". I would have used either "I hope you HAVE the time of your life" or "I hope YOU'VE HAD the time of your life", instead. If anyone can help me, it'll be welcome! Thanks!!

Also, if they said "hope you have the time of your life" it would be referring to the future, as in: "tomorrow, I hope you have a good time". To be talking about right now, they would have to say "I hope you are having the time of your life"
