Lyrics
You gotta stop taking off
You need to stop avoiding responsibilities or tasks
Like no one else could do your job
Recognizing that no one else can perform your role
'Cause
Transition to a new thought or perspective
Man, tell me how we ever
Expressing uncertainty about how to unite
How we ever gonna come together
Questioning the possibility of coming together
When you're never here long enough
Not being physically present for sufficient time
Can't you see what you've done
Acknowledging the impact of someone's actions
I used to live on the run
Previously living a fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle
But
Transition to a contrasting idea or feeling
Somehow you caught up to me
Being caught up by someone
And now you got me dreaming new dreams
Dreaming of new possibilities influenced by someone
Where my story don't end alone
Desiring a future where the narrator isn't alone
I ain't found the time to say all you are to me
Not finding the time to express appreciation
I could dig down deep in this and not come out for weeks
Being deeply immersed in thoughts or emotions
But you have to stay with me
Requesting commitment and presence
There's always something else
Putting other things ahead of personal needs
That you put above yourself
Emphasizing self-sacrifice for external priorities
Well
Transition to a reflection on the world's state
Damned if the world ain't ending
Noting the potential end of the world
Don't that mean we should stop pretending
Suggesting an end to pretense and embracing positivity
Make something good by the closing bell
Creating something positive by the end of the day
It's hard for me to tell the truth
Difficulty in being truthful
I gotta know you're in this too
Seeking assurance of mutual commitment
Ooh
Expressing a desire for confirmation
Tell me that I'm not crazy
Questioning one's sanity and seeking validation
Tell me that you want the same thing
Desiring shared goals and intentions
And let me settle down in you
Yearning for stability and settling down together
I ain't found the time to say all you are to me
Reiteration of not expressing full appreciation
I could dig down deep in this and not come out for weeks
Being deeply engrossed and not coming out for a while
But you have to stay with me
Reiterating the need for commitment and presence
I'm gonna need time
Requesting time for personal growth
And you're gonna need patience
Acknowledging the need for patience in a relationship
But I'm losing my mind
Struggling with the burden of keeping a secret
Keeping this secret
The difficulty of maintaining secrecy
Say that you'll meet me halfway
Requesting a mutual effort to bridge the gap
Tell me that you want this to be anything
Asking for confirmation of shared desires
Oh there have been times
Reflecting on past moments of shared feelings
I could have sworn you felt the same
Recalling instances of mutual emotions
I ain't found the time to say all you are to me
Reiteration of not expressing full appreciation
I could dig down deep in this and not come out for weeks
Being deeply engrossed and not coming out for a while
I ain't found the time to say that you're changing my mind
Not finding the time to express changing feelings
That you mean far too much to lose and I have to get this right
Emphasizing the importance of the person in their life
But you have to let me try
Requesting an opportunity to make things right
You have to stay with me
Emphasizing the importance of staying together</
