Hold up a sec

I wasn't there to say goodbye

Regret for not being present to bid farewell.

I'd work up a sweat

Willingness to exert effort or work hard.

If it meant we still had time

Expressing a desire to have more time together, even if it requires physical exertion.


See, I was impaired

Admission of being impaired or hindered in some way.

Mind was in bed

Mind being preoccupied or troubled, possibly with internal conflicts.

I was swimming in tie dye

Mention of engaging in an immersive, psychedelic experience symbolized by "tie dye."

So hold up a sec

Request for a pause or delay, not ready to say goodbye.

Just wasn't prepared to say goodnight

Expressing unpreparedness for bidding farewell.


It was eyelids whenever I'd fight this doubt

Reference to the struggle with doubt, possibly related to a relationship.

I tried this and benevolence tired you out

Attempted benevolence or kindness leading to exhaustion.


I wasn't there, mind was in bed

Reiteration of absence and preoccupation during a crucial moment.

I was swimming in tie dye (I'm holding up, I'm holding up)

Continuation of the tie dye metaphor, suggesting continued immersion in a vivid experience.

So hold up a sec

Repetition of the request for a pause, not ready to say goodnight.

Just wasn't prepared to say goodnight (I'm holding up, I'm holding up)

Reiteration of unpreparedness for parting.


So take my picture

Proposal to capture a moment in time through a photograph.

I'll take my medicine

Willingness to accept consequences or remedies for a situation.

It's like I'm with you

Feeling a connection with someone, though possibly in controlled or limited doses.

In doses and measurements

Acknowledgment of being present in specific quantities or ways.

When we're in situ

Reflection or contemplation on various aspects of life or the relationship.

I'm ruminating everything

Continuous presence and connection despite mental struggles.

But I'm still with you

Affirmation of being together even when challenges slowly infiltrate.

Even when it's creeping in

Resilience in maintaining the connection during difficult times.


Stick around tonight, I want an adventure

Expression of a desire for excitement or a novel experience.

Drinking in this life, so glad that I met you

Appreciation for the experiences shared in life.
