It All Slows Down
Timeless Love: Embracing Moments That Slow the World
Lyrics
There's too many things that are taking our time
Expressing the overwhelming number of things occupying time.
We're running around trying to make a dime
Describing the busy and hectic pursuit of earning a living.
I see it in your eyes that you're growing tired
Noticing signs of weariness in the other person.
Baby you know I am
Acknowledging awareness of the partner's fatigue.
I might not even get to see your face tonight
Expressing uncertainty about seeing the partner tonight.
You're running around trying to catch a flight
Partner is caught up in a busy schedule, possibly related to travel.
I'll see you in a couple days and when it's right
Anticipating a reunion in a few days at the right time.
Maybe you can hold me
Hoping for comfort and closeness upon reunion.
Oh 'cause when you touch me it all slows down
Highlighting the transformative effect of physical touch on perception of time.
It all slows down
Reiterating the idea that physical touch slows down time.
When you say you love me it all slows down
Attributing a similar time-slowing effect to hearing expressions of love.
It all slows down
Emphasizing the impact of love on time perception.
We're minutes in between people mowing past
Describing the fast-paced nature of life, with brief moments between interactions.
Some people loose each other when they fly so fast
Warning about the potential for people to lose each other in the rapid pace of life.
But I need you every day more than the last
Expressing a constant need for the partner, growing with each passing day.
Baby we won't break down
Asserting confidence in the relationship's resilience.
The only thing missing is a little more time
Identifying time as the only lacking element in the relationship.
We've got an inch if we could just make a mile
Expressing the potential for progress with a little more time and effort.
If I could only get a glimpse of your smile
Desiring a glimpse of the partner's happiness (smile).
Baby we'll be alright
Assuring that everything will be fine with the partner's smile.
Oh 'cause when you touch me it all slows down
Repeating the time-slowing effect of physical touch.
It all slows down
Reiterating the idea that touch has a profound impact on time.
When you say you love me it all slows down
Linking the expression of love to a slowdown in time.
It all slows down
Emphasizing the transformative effect of love on time perception.
You make everything make sense
Attributing meaning and coherence to life through the partner.
In this crazy world of mine
Stating that the partner brings clarity in a chaotic world.
Baby all we've got is this moment
Recognizing the fleeting nature of time and the importance of the present moment.
Let's take our sweet time
Suggesting a deliberate and unhurried approach to enjoying the current moment.
Oh 'cause when you touch me it all slows down
Reaffirming the impact of touch on slowing down time.
It all slows down
Reiterating the concept that physical contact has a time-altering effect.
When you say you love me it all slows down
Connecting the expression of love to a deceleration of time.
It all slows down
Emphasizing the transformative effect of love on time perception.
'Cause when you touch me it all slows down
Continuing to highlight the time-slowing effect of touch.
It all slows down
Reiterating the concept that expressing love results in a slowdown of time.
When you say you love me it all slows down
Emphasizing the transformative effect of love on time perception.
It all slows down
Reiterating the idea that expressing love leads to a slowdown in time.
