Lyrics
I wanna tell you now what I've been thinking
I want to share my thoughts with you.
I wanna tell you, now the city's blinking
Now, the city is vibrant or alive.
I wanna tell you, now the time keeps ticking away
The passage of time is on my mind.
I know you think it's kind of hard to believe it
You might find it difficult to believe.
But what I got, oh I know you need it
I possess something essential that I know you require.
I wanna tell you now the time keeps ticking away
The relentless passage of time is emphasized.
Ticking away
Emphasis on the ticking away of time.
Ticking away
-You say no
You deny or reject.
Everything is under control
Assurance that everything is in control.
Before we get too low
Before reaching a low point or negative state.
Everything is under control
Reiteration of control.
But that's just a trick, I know
However, it's just a deceptive tactic, and the speaker knows it.
I'm gonna keep it like a tight little secret
Intention to keep something as a secret.
I'm gonna hold it in my hand and squeeze it
The desire to possess and control it tightly.
I'm gonna keep it to myself, I'm calling the shots
The decision to keep it to oneself and assert authority.
I wanna tell you now what I've been thinking
Repetition of the desire to share thoughts.
I wanna tell you, now the city's blinking
Reiteration of the city's vibrant nature.
I wanna tell you now the time keeps ticking away
Reiteration of the preoccupation with time.
Ticking away
Continued emphasis on the ticking away of time.
Ticking away
-You say no
Rejection or denial.
Everything is under control
Assurance that everything is in control.
Before we get too low
Warning against reaching a negative state.
Everything is under control
Reiteration of control.
Going down where nobody knows
Descending to an unknown place.
Before we get too low
Caution against reaching a low point.
Everything is under control
Reiteration of control.
But that's just a trick, I know
However, it's just a deceptive tactic, and the speaker is aware of it.
You say no
Rejection or denial.
Everything is under control
Assurance of control.
Before we get too low
Warning against descending to a negative state.
Everything is under control
Reiteration of control.
Going down where nobody knows
Descending to an unknown place.
Before we get too low
Caution against reaching a low point.
Everything is under control
Reiteration of control.
But that's just a trick, I know
However, it's just a deceptive tactic, and the speaker acknowledges it.
