Tell Me Something
Eternal Questions: Stay or Go?
Lyrics
Time moves without notice
Time passes unnoticed
I could've missed you say it
Expressing the potential of missing important words
So quick I could've missed you say goodbye
Highlighting the abruptness of a possible farewell
You're all I'm able to see
The person is the center of attention and focus
Cuz when you're not here with me
Emphasizing the impact of the person's presence
You're burnt into my eyes
Imagery of a lasting impression when not physically together
So will you go
Presenting a choice between leaving and staying
Or will you stay
Reiterating the decision between departure and remaining
Do you still feel the same
Questioning if emotions remain consistent
Tell me something
Seeking information or assurance
Cuz you know I'm wondering
Expressing curiosity and a desire for communication
What are the words to make this right
Asking for the right words to resolve a situation
We only have tonight
Emphasizing the limited time available
And you'll be on your way
Anticipating the person's departure
Please just stay
Pleading for the person to stay
One more night, just one more night
Expressing a desire for one more night together
Don't leave this way
Requesting not to leave in a particular manner
I'm sorry I'm not smiling
Apologizing for a lack of happiness
Cuz I can't shake the feeling
Describing a persistent feeling of time running out
The feeling that we're always out of time
Emphasizing the urgency due to limited time
And so much more
Hinting at deeper emotions and experiences
When you walk out the door
Expressing the impact of the person's departure
And when your taillights fade away
Using taillights as a symbol of departure
You won't be back again
Conveying the finality of leaving
So will you go
Repeating the dilemma of leaving or staying
Or will you stay
Echoing the decision point
Do you still feel the same
Questioning the constancy of emotions
Tell me something
Reiterating the request for information or assurance
Cuz you know I'm wondering
Expressing ongoing curiosity and concern
What are the words to make this right
Repeating the quest for the right words
We only have tonight
Emphasizing the urgency of the present moment
And you'll be on your way
Anticipating the impending departure
Won't you stay
Urgently requesting the person to stay
One more night, just one more night
Desiring an additional night together
Don't leave this way
Asking not to leave in a particular way
Tell me something
Repeating the request for information or assurance
Cuz you know I'm wondering
Continuing curiosity and desire for communication
What are the words to make this right
Reiterating the search for the right words
We only have tonight
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of the moment
And you'll be on your way
Anticipating the person's departure once again
Please just stay
Pleading for the person to stay, emphasizing urgency
One more night, just one more night
Desiring one more night together urgently
Don't leave this way
Requesting not to leave in a particular manner
