Lyrics
I wait here
I am patiently waiting.
My smile under a frown; a tin-plated crown
Despite appearing unhappy, my true emotions are masked by a facade; the burden of responsibility is on my head.
I gaze my shoes
I look down at my shoes.
And contemplate why I've got nothing to lose
I reflect on why I seem to have nothing to lose.
So I won't lie
I won't deceive.
But momentarily I'm wondering why
Temporarily, I question the reasons behind my feelings.
Am I starting to burn up inside
I feel a rising internal intensity.
When I'm just waiting for you to arrive
I'm waiting for your arrival.
Because an hour of your time
Your short presence means a lot to me.
Is worth a day of mine
An hour of your time holds great value for me.
Yeah an hour of your time
Reiteration of the significance of your time.
Is worth a day of mine
Emphasizing the impact of your time on my day.
You sit there
You are there.
The sunshine spilling through the pines, I know it blinds you
The beauty of nature blinds you as sunlight spills through the trees.
Roll your eyes
You express indifference or annoyance.
You're only halfway here and halfway mine
You are only partially present in our interaction.
And your glass ran dry
Your drink is finished quickly.
Considerably quicker than mine
Your glass empties faster than mine.
And I'm wracking my brain just to find
I struggle to find a reason to keep you with me.
A reason to keep you behind
The challenge of justifying your continued presence.
Because an hour of your time
Reiteration of the value of your time.
Is worth a day of mine
Stressing the importance of an hour of your time.
Yeah an hour of your time
Re-emphasizing the impact of your time on my day.
Is worth a day of mine
Highlighting the significant value of your time.
I lay here
I am lying down.
My sunburn stings a little more than it did before
The pain of sunburn intensifies, metaphorically representing emotional discomfort.
I close my eyes
I shut my eyes.
And even though you go you're an afterglow
Even when you're gone, your presence lingers like an afterglow.
So I memorise
I commit your every movement to memory.
Every little motion you made
I remember every detail of your actions.
So I can call on it day after day
To recall and cherish each moment.
Cos I don't know when this will happen again
Uncertainty about when we will meet again.
Because an hour of your time
Reiterating the value of an hour of your time.
Is worth a day of mine
Underscoring the importance of your time.
Yeah an hour of your time
Emphasizing the significance of an hour of your time.
Is worth a day of mine
Reiterating the impact of your time on my day.
