Lyrics
So we stayed up talking way to long until fire inside us died
Extended conversation until the passion or enthusiasm within them fades away.
This moment I've been waiting for so long, I just want to do this right
Anticipation for a significant moment, wanting to handle it correctly.
'Cause when it shows how much it cost, you'll rip the band-aid off
Awareness of the cost or consequences, leading to the decision to face the truth.
And I know won't hurt but it's too late to cut your loss
Realization that although it won't hurt now, it's too late to avoid the consequences.
(To cut your loss)
Reiteration of the irreversible decision to face the consequences.
So I'll take some time to get this right
Commitment to taking time to do things correctly and patiently.
I'm just waiting up now 'til it gets light
Waiting for daylight, symbolizing clarity or a new beginning.
It's been a long long time since I've felt alright
Expressing a prolonged period of not feeling well or content.
And here's to leaving the past behind
Toasting to moving on from past experiences and starting anew.
But for whatever reason I can't pull the words from my head
Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions verbally.
(Can't pull the words from my head)
Reiteration of struggling to articulate thoughts.
And I'm overcompensating for lost time and all this regret
Compensating excessively for lost time and regrets.
'Cause I had my heart inside a box, you're the only one with a key
Metaphorically having one's heart locked away, with someone else having the key.
But for whatever reason, I guess that we're just meant to be
Despite difficulties, acknowledging a fated connection with the other person.
So I'll take some time to get this right
Reiteration of the commitment to taking time for correctness.
I'm just waiting up now 'til it gets light
Waiting for clarity or a positive change symbolized by light.
It's been a long long time since I've felt alright
Acknowledging a prolonged period of not feeling well or content.
And here's to leaving the past behind
Repeating the desire to leave the past behind and embrace a new beginning.
I been waiting for something more like this
Longing for something more significant and meaningful.
Feeling life to the likes of our first kiss
Recalling a special moment, possibly the first kiss, and feeling alive.
I want it all, I want you here with me
Expressing the desire for a complete and fulfilling experience with the other person.
'Cause I know we're just meant to be
Confidently believing that the connection is destined to be.
So I'll take some time to get this right
Reiterating the commitment to taking time for correctness.
I'm just waiting up now 'til it gets light
Waiting for clarity or a positive change symbolized by light.
It's been a long long time since I've felt alright
Acknowledging a prolonged period of not feeling well or content.
And here's to leaving the past behind
Repeating the desire to leave the past behind and embrace a new beginning.
So I'll take some time to get this right
Reiteration of the commitment to taking time for correctness.
I'm just waiting up now 'til it gets light
Waiting for clarity or a positive change symbolized by light.
It's been a long long time since I've felt alright
Acknowledging a prolonged period of not feeling well or content.
And here's to leaving the past behind
Repeating the desire to leave the past behind and embrace a new beginning.
