Lyrics
I've been biding my time since I saw you
I've been patiently waiting since the moment I first saw you
I've been counting windows from the ground up
I've been observing and counting the windows of buildings from the ground level
Well I've been tying my shoes with abandon
I've been casually and carefreely handling my daily tasks, including mundane ones like tying my shoes
I've been sleeping all day in the doorway
I've been spending my days lazily, perhaps feeling lethargic, even to the point of resting in a doorway
Doorway
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the significance of the doorway
Doorway
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the importance of the doorway
And I've been running all night
I've been engaging in continuous activity, possibly suggesting restlessness or a desire to escape
Well I've been running all night
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the persistent theme of running throughout the night
And maybe I'll hang clocks in the new house
Perhaps a metaphorical expression of planning for the future, considering hanging clocks in a new house
Well in that new house, I'll make the time
In the future, I plan to create a space where I can manage my time effectively
I'm just trying to keep you in college
I am making efforts to support or keep someone in college, indicating a commitment to their education
Well in that new house, I'll find the time
In the envisioned new house, I will find the time for important matters
But I keep running all night
Despite my efforts to plan and create a stable environment, I find myself consistently running throughout the night
Well I've been running all night
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the ongoing theme of running during the night
Well I've been running all night
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing the continuous nature of the nighttime running
I've been running all night
Repetition for emphasis, stressing the persistent action of running all night
But I keep running all night
Despite efforts to change or control, the pattern of running all night continues
But I keep running all night
Repetition for emphasis, once again emphasizing the ongoing and unchanged nature of the nighttime running
But I keep running all night
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the idea that the running throughout the night is a persistent, unaltered behavior
But I keep running all night
Despite any attempts to break the pattern, I continue running throughout the night
