Take Too Long
Eternal Wait: Unveiling the Patience of Love in Fo Daniels' 'Take Too Long'
Lyrics
What's the story? I mean what's ailing you
Asking about the troubles or challenges someone is facing.
There's no glory in being proud
Highlighting that there's no honor in being overly proud.
I passed Virginia, an hour ago
Noting the passage through Virginia an hour ago.
I like the way the peaches taste down south
Expressing enjoyment of the taste of peaches in the southern region.
When you call me by my name
Responding positively when called by name.
I can't help but to come
Feeling compelled to respond when called, possibly indicating attraction.
Aware the whole time through
Being conscious and alert throughout the interaction.
And comfortable under your thumb
Feeling comfortable and submissive in the relationship.
I know you don't even think about me
Acknowledging that the other person may not think about the speaker.
I know you, you've got a heart like stone
Describing the other person as emotionally unyielding or cold.
I know you, are gonna love me eventually
Believing that eventually, the other person will love the speaker.
But I know you're gonna take too long
Anticipating that the love will take a long time to materialize.
Can you please stay? I mean I don't want you to leave
Expressing a desire for the other person to stay and not leave.
What's the play? You hold your cards so close
Questioning the other person's motives or strategies.
I passed the weekend, salty feet yeah
Reflecting on a weekend with salty feet, finding it challenging to focus on California's coast.
So hard to focus on California's coast
Describing the difficulty of concentrating on the present surroundings.
When you look into my eyes
Noting the intense and affecting gaze into the speaker's eyes.
It's heavy like a drug
Comparing the impact of the gaze to the heaviness of a drug.
My vision starts to blur and then
Experiencing a blurred vision as a result of the intense interaction.
I wake up on your rug
Waking up in a vulnerable or intimate setting, represented by a rug.
I know you don't even think about me
Reiterating that the other person may not think about the speaker.
I know you, you've got a heart like stone
Reinforcing the perception of the other person having a cold and unyielding heart.
I know you, are gonna love me eventually
Remaining hopeful that the other person will eventually reciprocate love.
But I know you're gonna take too long
Repeating the expectation that love will take a considerable amount of time.
When you call me by my name
Recalling the positive response to being called by name.
I can't help but to come
Reiterating the feeling of being compelled to respond to the other person.
Aware the whole time through
Emphasizing the continuous awareness and alertness during the interaction.
And comfortable under your thumb
Reaffirming the comfort and submission in the relationship.
I know you don't even think about me
Acknowledging the likelihood that the other person doesn't think about the speaker.
I know you, you've got a heart like stone
Reiterating the characterization of the other person's heart as cold and unyielding.
I know you, are gonna love me eventually
Maintaining hope for eventual reciprocated love despite the expected delay.
But I know you're gonna take too long
Anticipating a prolonged wait for the other person to reciprocate love.
