Counting The Minutes
Time's Embrace: Unraveling the Heartfelt Symphony of Counting The Minutes by Rafi Barides
Lyrics
Didn't want to write a song about it
Expressing reluctance to write a song about a certain topic
But you got me
Acknowledging being influenced or compelled to write the song
Counting minutes
Emphasizing the act of counting minutes, possibly related to anticipation or impatience
You get underneath my surface
Describing a deep impact or penetration into one's emotions
When you come in
Highlighting the effect when the person addressed enters the speaker's life
So when you coming
Prompting the addressed person about their arrival
No I didn't think it was love
Initial denial or disbelief about the presence of love
(Didn't think it was love
-Didn't think it was love)
-No I didn't think I was wrong
Realization of a potential mistake and the consequences of being on the run
(Didn't think I was wrong
-Got me out on the run)
-Somethings in my head
Indicating thoughts or feelings in the speaker's mind
You make me feel some way
Expressing an indescribable emotional state caused by the addressed person
I won't say out loud
Choosing not to vocalize certain feelings due to anticipated transience
Cuz you won't stick around
Emphasizing the short-lived nature of the connection
Up late in my bed
Describing being awake late at night with thoughts of the addressed person
I hate that I'm awake
Expressing displeasure at being awake and unable to sleep
I don't make a sound
Choosing to remain silent about inner turmoil
Cuz you wont stick around
Anticipating the transitory nature of the connection
Ah, counting the minutes
Reiterating the act of counting minutes, possibly indicating impatience
Ah, counting the minutes
-Ain't my fault time stops when I'm out with you
Claiming that the slowing of time is not the speaker's fault when with the addressed person
I'm thinking bad shit, but I keep my cool
Confessing inner thoughts and emotions while maintaining composure
So there's so much shit I swear you'd run if you knew
Suggesting that revealing certain aspects might cause the addressed person to distance themselves
I think you need company babe
Expressing a perceived need for companionship and comfort from the addressed person
And you been needing comforting lately
-Don't even want to fight you
Denying a desire for conflict, doing things out of fondness, and acknowledging potential mental strain
I don't do this cuz I like to
-I just do this cuz I like you but
-I might just lose my mind oh
-No I didn't think it was love
Repeating the initial disbelief in the presence of love
(Didn't think it was love
-Didn't think it was love)
-No I didn't think I was wrong
Acknowledging a potential mistake and the consequences of being on the run
(Didn't think I was wrong
-Got me out on the run)
-Somethings in my head
Reflecting on thoughts or feelings in the speaker's head
You make me feel some way
Describing an indescribable emotional state caused by the addressed person
I won't say out loud
Choosing not to vocalize certain feelings due to anticipated transience
Cuz you won't stick around
Emphasizing the short-lived nature of the connection
Up late in my bed
Describing being awake late at night with thoughts of the addressed person
I hate that I'm awake
Expressing displeasure at being awake and unable to sleep
I don't make a sound
Choosing to remain silent about inner turmoil
Cuz you wont stick around
Anticipating the transitory nature of the connection
Ah, counting the minutes
Reiterating the act of counting minutes, possibly indicating impatience
Ah, counting the minutes
-Counting the minutes
Continuing the theme of counting minutes, reinforcing impatience or anticipation
