Lyrics
Time is a corridor that winds through my life
Time is depicted as a pathway weaving through the speaker's life.
Out of each door comes a day
Every day emerges from a door in the corridor of time.
And when that door closes and I've said good night
When a day concludes, and goodbyes are exchanged, another opportunity or day arises.
Another door opens again
A new phase begins as a door closes, symbolizing continuous opportunities.
Down in the corridor there will be a time
Anticipation of a time when the speaker will exhaust available options in life.
When I shall run out of doors
An uncertain future where the speaker will explore unconventional paths through windows.
I'll scramble through windows and pull up the blinds
Describes a time when traditional choices are exhausted, and alternative paths are sought.
In another room I'm still not too sure
Reference to being in another room, expressing uncertainty about one's place in life.
That there's no room for me down here
Doubt about finding a place or purpose in the current phase of life.
I shall be sorry
The speaker acknowledges a potential sense of regret for not finding their place.
It will be clear
Clarity dawns about the missed opportunities and choices.
And I'll regret not seeing her more
Regret for not spending more time with someone important.
In today's room love's at the door
Love is currently present, possibly at the door of the speaker's life.
I look at my wrist watch, the hands ever turn
The inevitability of time passing is observed through a wristwatch.
Her face is there I can see
The memory of a person (her face) is vivid despite the passing of time.
I'll always regret it but I'll never learn
Continued regret for not learning from past mistakes regarding time.
Time is so precious to me
Time is cherished and valuable to the speaker.
Out in the corridor she sits in a chair
Description of two individuals in separate spaces, highlighting emotional distance.
Here I am pacing the floor
The speaker is restless while the other person sits calmly, emphasizing a contrast.
I've not got the courage, my hand combs my hair
Struggling with courage, possibly to confront or approach the other person.
In today's room I'm still not too sure
Uncertainty persists about the speaker's place or role in the current moment.
That there's no room for me down here
Reiteration of doubt regarding finding a place or purpose in the current phase of life.
Will I be sorry
Speculation about potential future regret for current indecision or inaction.
Well that won't be clear
Clarity about the consequences of the speaker's current uncertainty is elusive.
And I'll regret not seeing her more
Anticipation of regret for not spending enough time with someone significant.
In today's room love's at the door
Love is still present, possibly waiting at the door of the speaker's life.
In today's room, strawberry jam
A shift to a different setting, introducing mundane elements like strawberry jam.
No hope of blue skies holiday plans
A contrast between mundane activities and the absence of hope or positive prospects.
In today's room, trips to the shops
Everyday activities like trips to the shops are part of the current reality.
She's on the doorstep carrying a box
A symbolic image of someone carrying a box, possibly indicating baggage or burdens.
