Lyrics
Maybe you need some time on your own
Expressing the suggestion that the person might benefit from some time alone.
'Til you figure this out
Suggesting the need to take time for self-reflection and understanding.
Well what if you sit inside by yourself and tape the windows shut?
Imagining a scenario of isolation, symbolized by taping windows shut, to encourage introspection.
You could black out the sun and watch the moon eclipse for a while
Metaphorically suggesting the idea of blocking out external influences to focus on personal growth.
Hey, hey, it's alright
Reassuring and encouraging the listener that everything will be okay.
I know you think you haven't got time but you've got your whole life
Emphasizing the availability of time and a whole lifetime ahead to figure things out.
Sometimes I think I need to watch the world go by
Expressing a desire to observe life without actively participating all the time.
'Cause I don't wanna always have to try
Desiring a break from constant effort and trying in life.
Maybe today when I go out, it will feel different
Expressing hope that going out today will bring a different, positive experience.
And I won't be scared at all
Hoping for a fearless and positive outlook during social interactions.
When a stranger sits too close to me, I won't panic
Anticipating a more relaxed response to strangers approaching closely.
I won't feel my skin crawl
Expecting a reduction in anxiety and discomfort in certain situations.
Well I won't hate my body, yeah I won't get a ticket
Committing to a positive self-image and rejecting self-hate.
I'll find what I'm looking for, I'll fill a hole
Expressing optimism about finding fulfillment and addressing personal voids.
Yeah I will smell the roses, I won't see any posers
Desiring to appreciate life's beauty and authenticity without encountering fake personas.
And all my debt will turn to simply nothing at all
Envisioning a resolution to financial struggles and worries.
Hey, hey, it's alright
Reiterating the message of reassurance and encouragement.
I know you think you haven't got time but you've got your whole life
Highlighting the abundance of time available for personal growth and discovery.
Sometimes I think I need to watch the world go by
Repeating the desire to observe life rather than always actively participating.
'Cause I don't wanna always have to try
Expressing the wish to avoid constant striving and effort in life.
Hey, hey, it's alright
Reassuring and encouraging, emphasizing the ample time for life's experiences.
I know you think you haven't got time but you've got your whole life, yeah
Reiterating the message of having sufficient time for one's entire life journey.
Sometimes I think I need to watch the world go by, by
Repeating the idea of occasionally stepping back to observe life passively.
'Cause I don't wanna always have to try
Reiterating the desire to avoid the constant need to try hard in every aspect of life.
Yeah, I don't wanna always have to try
Emphasizing the aversion to always having to put in excessive effort and try hard.
Yeah, I don't wanna always have to try
Reiterating the aversion to constant striving and effort in various aspects of life.
