Fourteen Minutes Old
Time's Echo: Nostalgia in Fourteen Minutes Old
Lyrics
Well, I've had all the time I need to wonder
Reflecting on the ample time spent contemplating
Just how much I miss her being gone
Expressing the depth of missing someone who is no longer present
And I'm already wishing she was close enough to hold
Wishing for the closeness to physically embrace the person
An' her memory's only fourteen minutes old
Highlighting the recent nature of the memories, emphasizing their freshness
Some big old tears just fell from my blue eyes
Noting the shedding of tears, possibly revealing hidden emotions
And I guess they must have been there all along
Suggesting that the tears were present but unnoticed before
There's still some coffee in her cup, and it's not even cold
Observing remnants of the person in the environment, like coffee, indicating recent presence
An' her memory's only fourteen minutes old
Reiterating the freshness of memories, specifically emphasizing a short time span
Well, every passing minute makes me want her
Expressing a growing desire for the person's return with each passing moment
Right back in my arms where she belongs
Desiring physical closeness, suggesting a sense of belonging
And I'm already missing times, when she was mine to hold
Missing moments of holding the person and cherishing past times
And her memory's only fifteen minutes old
Continuing to emphasize the recent nature of memories, now at fifteen minutes
Some big old tears just fell from my blue eyes
Repeating the emotional release through tears, underlining their significance
And I guess they must have been there all along
Suggesting that emotional tears have been present but unnoticed
There's still some coffee in her cup, and its not even cold
Noting the persistence of reminders of the person, like the still-warm coffee
An' her memory's only fifteen minutes old
Reiterating the recency of memories, now at fifteen minutes
Her memory's only sixteen minutes old
Further emphasizing the freshness of memories, now at sixteen minutes
And the coffee in her cup's not even cold
Repeating the persistence of warm coffee, symbolizing the recent presence of the person
