Lyrics
Well, I been thinkin' 'bout the future
Contemplating the future
Too young to pretend
Feeling too young to fake or pretend
It's such a waste to always look behind you
Stressing the futility of dwelling on the past
You should be lookin' straight ahead
Encouragement to focus on the future
Yeah, I'm gonna have to move on
Expressing the need to move forward
Before we meet again
Prioritizing moving on before another meeting
Yeah, it's hard
Acknowledging difficulty in moving on
If you had've only seen
Regret for not having seen something earlier
At 10:34, Flinders Street Station
Specific time and place reference
I'm lookin' down the tracks
Observing the railway tracks at Flinders Street Station
A uniform man asking am I paid up
Encountering authority questioning payment
Why would I wanna be that?
Dismissing the idea of conforming to expectations
Yeah, I'm gonna have to move on
Reiterating the need to progress
Before we meet again
Reinforcing the urgency to move on
Yeah, it's hard
Recognizing the difficulty in doing so
If you had've only seen
Expressing regret over missed insight or action
Take control
Advocating taking charge of one's life
Don't be afraid of me
Encouraging not to fear change or progress
'Cause every once in a while
Reflecting on occasional moments of self-reflection
You think about if you're gonna get yourself together
Contemplating the process of self-improvement
You should be happy just to be alive
Emphasizing the value of being alive
And just because you just don't feel like coming home
Not feeling like returning home at times
Don't mean that you'll never arrive
Assuring that despite feeling lost, one will eventually find their way
Yeah, I'm gonna have to move on
Re-emphasizing the need to progress
Before we meet again
Prioritizing moving on over future meetings
Yeah, it's hard
Recognizing the difficulty in moving on
If you had've only seen
Expressing regret over missed insight or action
Take control
Advocating taking charge of one's life
Don't be afraid of me
Encouraging not to fear change or progress
