Lyrics
Twenty seconds on the back time
Reflecting on the past, specifically twenty seconds ago.
I feel you're on the run
Sensing that the person is evading or avoiding something.
Never lived too long to make right
Not having a long enough lifespan to correct mistakes.
I see you're doing fine
Observing that the person is doing well.
And when I get that feeling
Experiencing a certain emotion.
I can no longer slide
Unable to avoid a situation or responsibility.
I can no longer run
Unable to escape or avoid challenges.
Ah no no
Expressing denial or refusal.
And when I get that feeling
Experiencing a specific emotion again.
I can no longer hide
Unable to conceal or ignore a certain truth.
For it's no longer fun
Acknowledging that a situation is no longer enjoyable.
Ah no no
Reiterating denial or refusal.
Yeah, you can say what you want
Granting permission for others to express their opinions.
But it won't change my mind
Asserting that external opinions won't influence personal beliefs.
I'll feel the same about you
Emphasizing consistency in feelings despite external factors.
And you can tell me your reasons
Inviting the person to share their justifications.
But it won't change my feelings
Asserting that reasons won't alter personal emotions.
I'll feel the same about you
Reiterating the steadfastness of personal feelings.
What I am is what you want of me
Defining oneself based on the expectations of others.
Yeah, now that I'm not there
Highlighting absence and detachment.
I took the tables away from you
Taking control or reversing a situation.
It's turned and I don't care
Indicating indifference towards the consequences.
I've said goodnight
Formally bidding farewell for the night.
Try to sleep tight
Wishing peaceful sleep.
Ah just dream of me
Encouraging dreams about the speaker.
Go close your eyes
Instructing to close one's eyes for rest.
Cause I've closed mine
Indicating personal closure or detachment.
The sun will shine from time to time
Expressing optimism for the future.
Oh, when you dream of me, yeah
Reiterating the theme of dreaming about the speaker.
