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
