Lyrics
Two seconds too long
Feeling that a moment lasted slightly too much
Two seconds too long
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged moment
An innocent kiss, went on
An affectionate gesture extended beyond innocence
Two seconds too long
Highlighting the duration of the kiss as excessive
Just an innocent kiss
Affirmation of innocence in the kiss
And I could do no wrong
Feeling morally justified
I could do no right
Contrasting perspectives on the action
Two seconds too long
Reiteration of the prolonged kiss's impact
Everybody knows
Common knowledge or understanding among people
When you hit the big one
When a significant event occurs
It's a mother
Expressing intensity or significance
Later she and I
Referring to the singer and a female figure
We got to slip away
Planning to discreetly meet or escape
And get together
Intending to reunite privately
Now she calls me baby
Signifying affection with a pet name
Sugar pie del-tong
A playful nickname for the female partner
We do everything we do
Engaging in various activities excessively
Two seconds too long
Reiterating that their actions linger too long
Everybody knows
Repetition of the concept of a significant moment
When you hit the real thing
When experiencing genuine or authentic emotions
It's a crime
Labeling intense emotions as a wrongdoing
Anytime of day
Anytime the woman desires
Baby gets to play
The woman having control over the singer's time
With my time
Implies the woman is using the singer's time
Two seconds too long
Recurrence of the theme of time exceeding expectations
Two seconds too long
Emphasizing the prolonged moment once again
An innocent kiss, went on
Revisiting the extended innocent kiss
Two seconds too long
Reiteration of the duration being too much
Just an innocent kiss
Stating the kiss as innocent, resolving troubles
And all my troubles are gone
Positivity, as troubles disappear with a kiss
It's alright
Expressing acceptance or contentment
Two seconds too long
Reiteration of the excessive duration of the kiss
