Time Bomb
Love's Explosive Dilemma: Ticking Time Bomb by Augie Isaac
Lyrics
Stuck in this house
Feeling confined or stuck in a situation.
Nothing to do
Experiencing boredom or a lack of activity.
Only a matter of time 'til I reach out to you
Anticipating reaching out to someone, perhaps for connection or companionship.
See how you've been
Expressing interest in the well-being of the other person.
And hear your voice
Desiring to hear the other person's voice.
My heart starts to flutter and I know I don't have a choice
Feeling emotional excitement and a lack of choice in the matter.
Cause you're my ticking, ticking time bomb that's gonna go off
Referring to the person as a metaphorical "time bomb" with inevitable consequences.
I don't know how to defuse you how to make it stop
Expressing uncertainty about how to handle or control the emotions associated with the person.
My heart my say we'll be there some day
Conflict between emotions (heart) and the awareness of potential future issues.
But my ticking, ticking time bomb won't stay
Recognizing the inevitability of the emotional explosion despite the desire for a different outcome.
Want to stay away
Expressing a desire to stay away from the person.
You're not what I need
Believing that the person is not what is needed.
Cause once the seal's broken I won't have the power to leave
Acknowledging the potential difficulty of breaking a connection once initiated.
Get out of my head
Requesting the person to leave their thoughts.
You have too much power
Acknowledging the significant impact the person has on thoughts and feelings.
Your beautiful face infiltrates my mind once every hour
Describing the person's face as powerful in occupying the mind.
You're not what I need,
Reiterating that the person is not what is needed.
You'll just make my heart bleed
Anticipating emotional pain caused by the person.
You're not what I want,
Clarifying that the person is not a desired choice.
You'll just one day be gone
Expecting the person to eventually leave.
I stay thinking of you when that's the last thing I should do
Struggling with persistent thoughts of the person despite the awareness that it's not advisable.
But you're unavoidable
Highlighting the inevitability of encountering the person.
Far too enjoyable
Acknowledging the enjoyment derived from the person's presence.
Eyes and your smile
Specifically mentioning the impact of the person's eyes and smile.
Send me in a lull
Feeling a sense of calm or entrancement caused by the person.
You're my ticking, ticking time bomb that's gonna go off
Reiterating the person as a metaphorical "time bomb" with inevitable consequences.
I don't know how to defuse you how to make it stop
Expressing uncertainty about how to handle or control the emotions associated with the person.
My heart may say we'll be there some day
Conflict between emotions (heart) and the awareness of potential future issues.
But my ticking, ticking time bomb won't stay
Recognizing the inevitability of the emotional explosion despite the desire for a different outcome.
