Embracing Time's Passage: A Reflection on Maturity and Loss
Lyrics
You're not mine
You do not belong to me or are not in a relationship with me.
I woke up to find you
I woke up and discovered your absence or departure.
Left me a message at the beep
You left me a voicemail or message when I was unavailable.
I dropped my phone and smashed the screen and its gone
I accidentally dropped my phone and broke the screen, losing access to the message.
And I won't find out
I will not be able to discover or learn what the message contained.
I'm not growing up
I am not embracing maturity.
I'm just getting older
I am simply aging without necessarily maturing.
And when I think about the things I want
When considering desires, they are more about a mental state than material possessions.
It's a state of mind not an object
Desires are related to a mental condition rather than tangible objects.
I'm not growing up and
I am not undergoing the process of becoming an adult.
By your definition im a loser
By your standards, I am considered a failure or someone lacking.
And when I think about the time I've lost
Reflecting on time lost or wasted.
No decimal could make me want this
No amount of reasoning or calculation could make me desire what was lost.
I'm never growing up
I am adamant about not embracing the responsibilities or traits associated with growing up.
And i'm not trying anymore
I am not making an effort to mature any further.
You're not mine
You are not in a relationship with me.
I woke up to find you
I woke up and found that you were not present or had left.
Left me a message at the beep
You left me a voicemail or message when I couldn't answer the phone.
I dropped my phone and smashed the screen and its gone
I accidentally broke my phone, losing access to the message.
And I won't find out
I will not be able to find out the content of the message.
You're not mine
You do not belong to me or are not in a relationship with me (repeated from line 1).
