One More Mile
Wandering Through Twilight: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'One More Mile'
Lyrics
It's after six, the shops've shut
It is past six o'clock, and the shops have closed.
They're cashing in the money-go-'round
People are capitalizing on the cycle of money.
With serial numbers all stabbed in a book
Money is recorded with serial numbers and documented in a book.
We walked by the windows and stole a look
The narrator and someone else walked by windows and took a glance.
It's getting dark mighty quick
The darkness is approaching rapidly.
The colds gone, it's funny how the colours just
The cold weather has disappeared, and colors are vividly noticeable.
Stick to the strangers that smile as they pass
Strangers, who smile as they pass, attract the attention of the narrator.
We thought to talk but we walked too fast
The intention to talk arises, but they walk too quickly.
Don't come to your senses for a while
Stay oblivious for a while; don't come to your senses immediately.
We could wander one more mile
Suggesting to embark on a journey and cover another mile.
If you're waiting for calm after dawn, you'll be waiting a while
Waiting for calmness after dawn will take a long time.
The curve in the eye that you're looking from
The perspective you see from has a curved view that reflects the narrator's image.
Leaves a reflection of mine
Encouraging to preserve this reflection for one more mile.
Keep it for one more mile
(Empty line)
It's after ten, the clocks're spent
It is past ten o'clock, and the clocks are no longer ticking.
You missed a trick checkin' where the seconds went
Cautioning against overlooking where the seconds have gone.
Until you looked, they sat stuck still
Seconds seem motionless until observed.
Wherever you wish to walk, I will
A commitment to accompany wherever the other person wishes to walk.
Just don't come to your senses for a while
Repetition of the idea to delay becoming aware for a while.
We could wander one more mile
Reiterating the suggestion to explore another mile together.
If you're waiting for calm after dawn, you'll be waiting a while
Patience is required if expecting tranquility after dawn.
The curve in the eye that you're looking from leaves a reflection of mine
The perspective from the eye creates a reflection, emphasizing its significance.
Keep it
Encouraging to preserve the reflection.
For one more mile
(Reiteration of the idea to keep the reflection for one more mile)
