Lyrics
Time has been unkind
Expressing that time has been harsh or unfavorable.
And that's why lately I've been wondering why
Expressing curiosity or confusion about the recent difficulties.
You've been living rent free in my mind
Noting that someone has been occupying the thoughts without payment or effort.
For quite some time
Acknowledging the prolonged duration of the mental preoccupation.
So how 'bout you and me just stay a while
Suggesting a desire for a longer, meaningful connection.
All I want from you is just your
Stating a minimalistic request for a positive facial expression.
Smile
Emphasizing the importance of a genuine smile.
I won't make you
Committing to respecting personal boundaries.
Do anything you don't want to
Reiterating the desire to avoid imposing discomfort.
Your heart is all I need to get me through
Expressing emotional reliance on the other person's heart.
I just wish I had a bit more
Expressing a wish for more time.
Time commands our lives
Reflecting on the commanding nature of time in our lives.
And that's why everyone I know and I
Observing a common pursuit of finding peace of mind.
Are trying to find some fucking peace of mind
Using strong language to emphasize the difficulty of this pursuit.
To at least try
Highlighting the importance of at least attempting to find peace.
And I can see the years have passed us by
Noting the passage of time and its impact.
But I can tell it's you behind those
Recognizing the familiar presence of the person in the eyes.
Eyes
Reiterating a commitment to respecting personal boundaries.
I won't make you
Emphasizing the importance of consent in actions.
Do anything you don't want to
Reiterating emotional reliance on the other person's heart.
Your heart is all I need to make it through
Expressing a desire for more time in a relationship context.
I just wish we had a bit more
Expressing regret about the lack of time.
Time to make things right
Desiring more time to correct or improve things.
So tell me, baby, what you got tonight
Asking the other person about their plans for the night.
We could go to Paris if we fly
Suggesting the idea of going to Paris together.
And it'd be nice
Expressing positivity about the idea.
But only if you pay for half the flight
Setting a condition for sharing expenses for the trip.
I cannot afford that at this
Explaining a financial constraint at the moment.
Time
Reiterating the lack of financial capacity currently.
I won't make you
Committing to respecting personal boundaries.

Repeating the wish for more time to make things right.

Expressing the desire for additional time for improvement.
And that's why lately I've been wondering why
Reiterating the curiosity or confusion about recent difficulties.
