Lyrics
I want the days to go by
I desire for time to pass quickly
Half a year to be precise
Specifically half a year
I want to spend all my time
I want to dedicate all my time
Keeping track of cycles of moon in sky
Monitoring the phases of the moon in the sky
Smash your head on the pavement
Expressing a willingness to experience something new, even if it involves physical discomfort
Just to feel near to something new
Describing an intense desire for novelty
And with your cheek glued to gum
Being close to something, possibly by attaching oneself to trivial things
Feel let down cause nothing hurts quite as much as missing those days
Feeling disappointed because missing certain moments hurts more than physical pain
Or howling the name
Expressing the emotional intensity of calling someone's name
Or learning of a new love
Mentioning the experience of discovering a new love
One-hundred-eighty days
Referring to a period of 180 days
That is how much time it may take
Speculating on the time it might take for something significant to happen
One-hundred-eighty days
Reiterating the importance of the 180-day timeframe
I want the days to hurry by
Expressing a desire for time to pass quickly again
Without losing my mind
Wishing for a fast-forward in time without losing one's sanity
And go to a party
Desiring to attend a social gathering
Fall in love with everyone that I meet
Expressing a wish to fall in love with everyone encountered at the party
And the days will hurry by
Repeating the desire for time to pass quickly, specifying half a year
Half a year to be precise
Confirming the duration of half a year as mentioned before
That is what I am told
Referring to information received about the duration of time
Counting every moment
Emphasizing the act of counting every moment
'Til I'm six months older
Anticipating becoming six months older and further away from stagnation
And that much farther from standing still
Acknowledging progress while still engaging in repetitive behavior
But still dancing in circles
Continuing to dance in circles metaphorically
From challenging everyone and their mother
Engaging in challenges with others, possibly confrontations with mothers
From being the worst kind of jealous love
Experiencing a destructive form of jealous love
And if you want it baby you'll get it crazy
Expressing a willingness to attain something, but urging to stop madness and avoid sadness
Enough with the madness (don't speak of your sadness)
Discouraging the discussion of sadness
Your one saving grace is you're clear as a vase
Highlighting clarity as a positive attribute amid challenges
But if you think you might die well before you try
Encouraging taking risks before giving up
I'll let you in on a secret, no matter the details
Sharing a secret about the inevitability of certain experiences
Of how it did start no matter how dark
Emphasizing that the origin of an experience doesn't matter, suggesting resilience
You can't
Concluding with a statement about facing challenges, implying resilience
