Lyrics
Can somebody help me
Seeking assistance or support
Run away from my twenties
Desire to escape or avoid experiences during one's twenties
God knows I'm not ready for a two and what follows
Feeling unprepared for a two-digit age and its implications
Yes I'd rather wallow
Prefer to dwell or linger in a state of sadness
In my nostalgia I swallow the fear
Swallowing fear while reminiscing about the past
of losing a second or maybe a year
Fear of losing time, possibly a year or a moment
And through my camera I catch that fleeting moment
Capturing fleeting moments through photography or memory
Look me in the eyes we're living in borrowed time
Awareness of living on borrowed time
This minute is over shortly
Realization that the present moment passes quickly
Live in the now but my now moves too quickly
Struggle to live in the present due to its fast pace
Hold me before my now is history
Desire to be remembered before becoming history
Please don't forget me
Plea not to be forgotten
When you're old and still friendly
Hoping to maintain friendship even in old age
Just don't throw confetti
Request to refrain from celebrating at death
At my grave, yes I'd rather stay
Preference to stay in personal memories
In my own memories I pause the alarm
Stopping time within personal memories
And time's only relative when I'm apart from you
Time feels slower when with loved ones
Look me in the eyes we're living in borrowed time
Reiteration of living on borrowed time
This minute is over shortly
Recognition of the brevity of moments
Live in the now but my now moves too quickly
Struggling to keep up with the swift present
Hold me before my now is history
Desire for an embrace before becoming past
Won't you hold me and remind me that you're here
Seeking reassurance and connection
And I'm just as alive as I've ever been
Emphasizing the vitality of being alive in the moment
Please look me in the eyes
Pleading for eye contact, seeking emotional connection
you're mine for a little while
Temporary possession or connection with someone
If I could I would stop time for you
Desire to pause time for someone else
Live in the now but our now moves too quickly
Struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of shared moments
Remember me before our now is history
Request for remembrance before shared moments become history
