Fall Behind
Racing Against Time for Love
Lyrics
Well, I'm a full-time lover and a part-time friend
Expressing a dual role of being both a committed lover and a less committed friend.
But if it breaks your bones, it's sticks and stones in the end
Highlighting the impact of hurtful words (sticks and stones) on a relationship.
Tell me now, do you feel the same
Seeking confirmation of mutual feelings in the relationship.
There's only so much time I could spend in the pouring rain
Acknowledging the limited time tolerance for enduring challenges or difficulties.
Tell me, girl, if I'm moving way too slow
Inquiring if the pace of the relationship is satisfactory.
Tell me, is there something that I'm needing to know
Questioning if there are important undisclosed aspects affecting the relationship.
Because I got nothing to say
Expressing a state of speechlessness or lack of words.
All the words have left my mind
Emphasizing the difficulty in expressing thoughts or feelings.
And you, you're leaving today
Noting the partner's decision to leave.
Cause this life's been rearranging
Acknowledging life's constant changes and challenges.
And the seasons don't stop changing
Highlighting the unstoppable nature of time and the changing seasons.
So please don't let me go and fall behind
Pleading not to be abandoned or left behind amidst life's changes.
No one knows how to turn back time
Expressing the universal challenge of reversing or altering past events.
But I would stop the clock just to hear you say you'll be mine
Willingness to stop time for a moment of commitment from the partner.
Cause I've been walking, I've been talking, I've been losing my cool
Describing personal struggles, possibly related to the relationship.
And though I try, won't deny, I've been playing the fool
Admitting to playing the fool despite efforts to avoid it.
I need a real head start just to get you on the line
Expressing a need for a significant advantage or opportunity in the relationship.
Tell me, girl, if I'm moving way too slow
Repeating the inquiry about the pace of the relationship.
Tell me, is there something that I'm needing to know
Reiterating the question about undisclosed information affecting the relationship.
Because I got nothing to say
Restating a lack of words or communication.
All the words have left my mind
Reemphasizing the difficulty in expressing thoughts or feelings.
And you, you're leaving today
Reiterating the partner's decision to leave.
Cause this life's been rearranging
Reaffirming life's ongoing changes and challenges.
And the seasons don't stop changing
Repeating the idea that seasons keep changing.
So please don't let me go and fall behind
Repeating the plea not to be left behind amidst life's changes.
Because I got nothing to say
Reiterating a state of speechlessness or lack of words.
All the words have left my mind
Reemphasizing the difficulty in expressing thoughts or feelings.
And you, you're leaving today
Reiterating the partner's decision to leave.
Cause this life's been rearranging
Reaffirming life's ongoing changes and challenges.
And the seasons don't stop changing
Repeating the idea that seasons keep changing.
So please don't let me go and fall behind
Repeating the plea not to be left behind amidst life's changes.
