Lyrics
I like to learn things slow
I prefer to acquire knowledge at a slow pace.
I like learning a lot
I enjoy the process of learning a great deal.
I like to get it all again and in the end
I like the idea of starting anew and experiencing everything again, ultimately realizing that you reap what you sow.
You know you get what you got
Emphasizing the concept that outcomes are a result of one's actions.
I like to mean what I say
I prefer to speak with sincerity and truthfulness.
But it don't always come through
Expressing the challenge of always communicating with complete clarity.
'Cause if I say it all again, again, again
Repetition suggesting a struggle to convey the intended message.
It doesn't make it all true
Highlighting that repeating something doesn't make it universally true.
And the world's like a science
Comparing the world to a science, indicating complexity and order.
And I'm like a secret
Portraying the speaker as mysterious or private.
And I saw you lingering still, still
Referring to observing someone lingering, possibly romantically or emotionally.
I saw you lingering still
Reiteration of witnessing someone lingering, emphasizing the persistence of the image.
It's all just news to me
Everything is new and unfamiliar to the speaker.
Don't really care if it hurts
Indifference towards potential pain, suggesting a nonchalant attitude.
'Cause if I knock it I won't know it
If the speaker avoids confronting issues, they won't be aware of potential harm.
Then I know that it will only get worse
Recognizing that avoiding problems leads to worsening situations.
He was different at first
Someone was initially different, but understanding may not follow.
But then he won't understand
Despite initial differences, understanding may be elusive.
Because he's never gonna know me
Highlighting the challenge of being known if the other person is unwilling.
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand
If the other person doesn't want to connect, even a simple gesture like a handshake is rejected.
And the world's like a science
Reiteration of the world being compared to science, reinforcing complexity and order.
And I'm like a secret
Reiterating the speaker's secretive or enigmatic nature.
And I saw you lingering still, still
Observing someone lingering, suggesting a lasting presence or impact.
I saw you lingering still
Reaffirmation of the lingering presence, emphasizing its persistence.
And the world's like a science
Continuation of the analogy of the world as a complex science.
And I'm like a secret
Restating the speaker's secretive disposition.
And I saw you lingering still, still
Observing someone lingering, suggesting a prolonged or enduring impact.
I saw you lingering still
Reiteration of the enduring presence, reinforcing its significance.
And the world's like a science
Continuing the analogy of the world being like a science.
And I'm like a secret
Reiterating the speaker's mysterious or secret nature.
And I saw you lingering still
Observing someone lingering, indicating a lasting impact or memory.
I saw you lingering still
Reaffirming the enduring presence, emphasizing its lasting quality.
