Take My Time
Captivated by Love's Spell
Lyrics
Send me a hint, or show me a sign
Requesting a hint or sign to guide the speaker.
It's hard hauling a heart like mine
Expressing the difficulty of carrying a heart burdened with emotions.
I spent too much time, wasted money and wine
Regret over spending excessive time, money, and indulging in wine on unsuccessful relationships.
On women that I thought might be
Past romantic interests the speaker invested in, hoping they would be the right partner.
The one to save a boy like me
Hoping for someone to rescue or positively influence the speaker's life.
Playin' it cool might be a little hard for me
Difficulty in maintaining a composed demeanor.
I mean, s-t, look quick at that woman standing in front of me
Impressed by a woman's appearance and feeling captivated.
Well, she knew damn well, when she cast that spell
Acknowledgment that the woman had a strong impact or influence on the speaker.
That I'd be roped up and caught on her now
Feeling entangled and trapped in the woman's allure.
Better kick a little harder, keep my head above the water
A metaphorical expression about struggling to survive emotionally in a relationship.
Before I drown
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated in the situation.
Well, say what you will and poke when you want
Openness to criticism but unable to stop thinking about the woman.
But I can't keep my mind off the thought
Inability to stop thinking about the potential of a relationship with her.
Of her and me and what it could be
Contemplating a romantic relationship and its possibilities.
If I could just calm the hell down
Desire to calm down and control emotions.
Oh s-t, she's walking up now
Noticing the woman approaching.
Playin' it cool might be a little hard for me
Reiteration of the challenge in maintaining composure.
I mean, s-t, look quick at that woman walking right up to me
Again, being captivated by the woman's presence.
Well, she knew damn well, when she cast that spell
Reinforcing the idea that the woman has a hold over the speaker.
That I'd be roped up and caught on her now
Feeling ensnared in the woman's influence.
Better kick a little harder, keep my head above the water
Struggling to stay emotionally afloat in the situation.
And I find myself a little short of breath
Experiencing nervousness or anxiety.
Hello darlin', listen now, I must confess
Admitting feelings and making a confession upon the woman's arrival.
Playin' it cool might be a little hard for me
Reiterating the difficulty in maintaining composure in her presence.
It's true, look at you, you're shining like a light, just bright as can be
Expressing admiration for the woman's radiant presence.
Now, I ain't real slick, ain't got a quick wit
Admitting personal limitations in being smooth or clever.
And I find myself searching for lines
Struggling to find the right words to express admiration.
To tell you that you're one of a kind
Wanting to convey the woman's uniqueness.
And I don't mean to take all of your time
Expressing a desire not to waste her time.
But you can have all of mine
Offering all of the speaker's time to the woman.
You can have all of mine
Reiteration of offering the speaker's time to the woman.
Honey, take my time
Urging the woman to take all the time the speaker has to offer.
