Lyrics
Hey, 25 days
Expressing anticipation for a period of 25 days
I can’t go and you can’t stay
Describing a situation where one person can't leave, and the other can't stay
Miles away
Referring to a physical distance, possibly emotional or geographical
I say I need space
Stating a need for personal space
But I don’t think that’s true
Admitting uncertainty about the need for space
The moons will wane
Metaphorically referring to the phases of a relationship
I’m upside down and I can’t wait but
Feeling impatient but unable to wait
25 days
Repeating the anticipation of 25 days
I’ll wait 25 days to spend the rest of my days with you
Expressing willingness to wait for 25 days for a long-term commitment
Call me once in a while
Requesting occasional communication
So I can see you smile
Desiring to see the other person's smile
See your face
Expressing a desire to see the person's face
Hear your pretty voice
Valuing the sound of the person's voice
This is not great but we have few choices
Acknowledging limited options in a challenging situation
This is the best we can do
Accepting the current circumstances as the best available
Just know that (just know that just know that)
Emphasizing the waiting aspect
I’m waiting for you
Reiterating the anticipation of waiting
I’m waiting for you
Reaffirming the commitment to wait
Hey, 25 days
Repeating the initial anticipation
I can’t go and you can’t stay
Describing a similar situation to line 2 with a different time reference
Hours away
Referring to a period measured in hours
I say I need space
Repeating the need for personal space
But I don’t think that’s true
Reiterating uncertainty about the need for space
The moons will wane
Recalling the metaphor of the moons
I’m upside and I can’t wait but
Expressing impatience in an inverted situation
25 days
Repeating the anticipation of waiting for 25 days
I’ll wait 25 days to spend the rest of my days with you
Reaffirming the commitment to wait for the person
With you
Repeated affirmation of wanting to be with the person
With you
-With you
-With you
-With you
-With you
-I wanna see you right by my side
Expressing a desire for physical proximity
Staying inside's not great for my mind
Stating that staying indoors is not good for mental well-being
I like FaceTime but I want face time
Preferring face-to-face interaction over virtual communication
I don’t wanna waste time
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time
I don’t wanna waste time
-25 days turns to 25 more
Reflecting on the passage of time and the eagerness to be together
and more and more
-I can’t wait I can’t wait
Expressing impatience and anticipation
For 25 days
Reiterating the anticipation of 25 days
I can’t go and you can’t stay
Repeating a similar situation to line 2 with a different time reference
So far away I say I need space
Stating the distance and repeating the need for space
But I know that’s not true no
Contradicting the stated need for space
The moons will wane
Recalling the metaphor of the moons
I’m upside and I can’t wait for
Expressing impatience in an inverted situation
25 days for 25 days
Repeating the anticipation of waiting for 25 days and emphasizing the desire for a long-term commitment
But 25 days then the rest of my days with you
-25 days
Repeating the anticipation of waiting for 25 days
