Lyrics
every year i tell myself
Expressing an annual reflection or self-evaluation
that i am still so young
Feeling a sense of youthfulness
i never thought the day would come where i'm the oldest of the club
Realizing the unexpected shift to being the oldest in a group
oh i tell myself, tell myself
Repeating a self-assuring mantra
all that there is to tell
Committing to share everything about oneself
i will hide away
Choosing isolation or withdrawal
i will clench my teeth
Expressing tension or stress through teeth clenching
and i press repeat
Repeating actions, possibly stuck in a routine
i never worried anyway
Indicating a lack of concern or worry
i thought oh
Reflecting on the perception of time
time will go so slow for me now i know
Anticipating a slow passage of time
time will go so slow
Emphasizing the perceived slowness of time
that we never see coming
Highlighting unforeseen events
every year i tell myself that i am on the cusp
Reiterating the annual self-affirmation on the brink of change
of a brand new view
Expecting a fresh perspective or outlook
with a simple truth
Associating the new view with a simple truth
that i finally learn to trust oh i tell myself, tell myself all that there is to tell
Learning to trust, possibly oneself or others
i will hide away
Returning to seclusion or hiding
i will fall asleep
Preparing for rest or escape through sleep
then i press repeat
Repeating a cycle or pattern
i will carry all the weight
Taking on burdens or responsibilities
i thought oh
Reflecting on the perception of time once again
time will go so slow for me now i know
Expecting a slow passage of time
time will go so slow
Reiterating the perceived slowness of time
that we
Highlighting unexpected events once more
never see coming
Emphasizing the element of surprise
now i'm always running think it's finally coming for me
Sensing a constant pursuit or chase
i thought oh...
Resuming a train of thought
i thought oh
Reflecting on the perception of time again
time will go so slow for me now i know
Anticipating a slow passage of time once more
time will go so slow
Emphasizing the perceived slowness of time
that we
Reiterating the theme of unexpected events
never see coming (x4)
Underscoring the element of surprise multiple times
never see it...
Concluding with the idea of never seeing certain things coming
