Life Leftover
Embracing Life's Remnants: A Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
I'm hot enough to melt some gold
I feel intense or passionate enough to have a significant impact, like melting gold.
You're cooling down you just made a mountain of snow
You are calming down after creating a substantial amount of emotional distance or separation.
You're curled up body heat
You are physically close, curled up, sharing body heat.
I'm driving home on an icy street
I'm driving home on a dangerous, slippery road covered in ice.
Its not late enough for bed,
It's not yet time for sleep, so I choose to stay awake.
So I will stay up instead
This time that remains in the night is all I have.
This night leftover, is all I get
Emphasizing the limited time or opportunities left in the night.
I'm old enough to better know
I'm experienced enough to understand better.
The easy parts will never show
The enjoyable or straightforward aspects of life may not be apparent.
And beware of talking in your sleep
Be cautious about revealing secrets unintentionally, especially during sleep.
And drinking more doesn't make you deep
Excessive drinking doesn't necessarily bring depth.
Let's not wait around for death
Don't wait for death to appreciate the quality of life lived.
To show us how well we have lived
Emphasizing the value of the current life and experiences.
This life leftover, is all we get, yes
The remaining part of life is all we have.
This life leftover, is all we get
Reiterating the limited time or opportunities in life.
We're on the same wave,
Expressing unity or shared experiences with someone.
You're icing on the cake
You are the perfect complement, making things better.
I promise I won't steer you wrong
A promise not to lead astray.
I'm already there
The speaker is already present or committed.
You paid me very well
You compensated me adequately.
And I will be on par before you know
I will be equal or on par with you soon.
So tell me what is this for?
Questioning the purpose or meaning of something.
It walks and talks and crawls on the floor
Describing something that is alive and active, yet simple.
Its all so simple and so sweet
Simplicity and sweetness are found in minimalism.
When less is more than it needs to be
Less is more than necessary or expected.
I'm unable to be sure
Expressing uncertainty about the truth of the speaker's words.
If what I am saying is true
The remaining life won't reveal its secrets or truths easily.
This life leftover, will never tell
Life's mysteries and truths are not easily discernible.
Yes this life leftover you'll never guess
The remaining life is unpredictable and challenging to understand.
