Lyrics
Now, there's something I thought that I never thought I could say
The speaker is expressing surprise at being able to articulate something they never thought they could.
It's like I lock and I load but I run out of words
Despite preparing to express themselves, they find themselves unable to find the right words.
It isn't easy
Communicating what they feel isn't straightforward.
'Cause I run like a lizard but I bow out like James Dean
The speaker feels a conflict between running away quickly (like a lizard) but also leaving a significant impact (like James Dean).
But you say no, no, no, no
Someone is rejecting the speaker's proposal or suggestion.
Hold on, my darling
Asking someone dear to hold on and stay.
Stay here with me before we go, go, go, go
Requesting the person to stay before they both depart.
Please hold onto something
Urging the person to hold onto something stable.
Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
The speaker can exercise patience.
Is it too late to say
Questioning if it's too late for a particular action or expression.
Save it for the last dance?
Suggesting to keep something for the final moment or the end.
Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
Reiterating the ability to wait.
Is it too late to say
Asking again if it's too late for a certain action or expression.
Save it for the last dance?
Reiterating the idea of reserving something for the final moment or the end.
Save it for the last dance
Emphasizing the idea of reserving something significant for the end, specifically the last dance.
Save it for the last dance
-Now in the flick of a switch we could change everything, darling
Highlighting the potential for significant change in a short period.
And as the lights roll down, are we sticking around?
Questioning whether they'll remain present as circumstances change.
It gets so sticky
Describing a situation becoming complicated or difficult.
'Cause the road is littered with impetuous things
Referencing the presence of reckless or impulsive actions along the journey.
And nights like this don't come around quick
Expressing rarity or infrequency of moments like the present one.
Don't you know, know, know, know
Indicating a lack of understanding on someone's part.
It won't be easy
Recognizing the upcoming challenges.
But we'll go, go, go, go
Determinedly moving forward despite difficulties.
Out where the sky drops
Heading out into an uncertain or vast space.
Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
Repeatedly questioning if it's too late to save something for the last dance, reinforcing the theme of reservation for the end.
Is it too late to say
-Save it for the last dance?
-Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
-Is it too late to say
-Save it for the last dance?
-Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
-Is it too late to say
-Save it for the last dance?
-Ooh I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
-Is it too late to say
-Save it for the last dance?
