Lyrics
Time is slipping away
Expressing the passage of time and its fleeting nature.
Come on and take me now, or just take me out
An invitation to be taken either physically or romantically.
Use my body, as a pendulum to swing on
Offering one's body as a metaphorical pendulum for emotional connection.
'Cause I know you'd like that really
Awareness that the partner would appreciate such a gesture.
Oh baby won't you come on over
Inviting the partner to join and share moments together.
Come and watch time slip away with me
Encouraging the partner to be present and witness the passage of time together.
From a distance, when we're sifting through old memories
Reflecting on past memories from a distance.
And when I'm all on my own 'cause you're leaving without me
Feeling alone when the partner is absent.
But I've, nothing to say 'cause I'm used the pain
Acceptance of pain and silence in the absence of words.
Oh darling
An affectionate term used to address the partner.
Come and watch time slip away with me
Reiterating the desire to share time despite feeling wasted.
I feel wasted, though they say that I'm still young
Feeling unproductive or unfulfilled despite being young.
And nothing feels like it ever gets done
Expressing a sense of stagnation and unaccomplished tasks.
And as I'm loosing control of the feeling
Losing control over emotions.
That left me dripping with scars
Reflecting on emotional wounds and scars.
Because I'm nothing, unless I go far
Feeling insignificant unless achieving significant milestones.
Don't say it's all in my head
Rejecting the idea that emotions are imaginary or baseless.
Oh, come and watch time slip away with me
Repeating the invitation to share the experience of time.
From a distance, when we're sifting through old memories
Continuing the theme of revisiting memories from a distance.
And when I'm all on my own 'cause you're leaving without me
Expressing loneliness when the partner departs.
But I've, nothing to say 'cause I'm used the pain
Acknowledging pain but choosing silence over words.
Oh darling
Affectionately inviting the partner again to share time.
Come and watch time slip away with me
Reiterating the desire to experience time together.
Hold me just like you never could
Yearning for physical closeness and affection.
Love me just like you always said you should
Desiring love as promised or expected.
'Cause we've been acting like something so strange
Noticing a strange shift in the relationship.
Is happening between us
Expressing difficulty in explaining the evolving emotions.
It's getting harder to explain
Feeling challenged in describing the changing dynamics.
Oh, come and watch time slip away with me
Reiterating the invitation to share the passage of time.
From a distance, when we're sifting through old memories
Continuing the theme of reminiscing about old memories.
And when I'm all on my own 'cause you're leaving without me
Expressing loneliness when the partner is absent.
But I've, nothing to say 'cause I'm used the pain
Choosing silence over words in the face of pain.
Oh, come and watch time slip away with me
Affectionately inviting the partner once again to share time.
