Seconds
Fleeting Moments: Love's Seconds Lost and Found
Lyrics
Seconds apart
Expressing a brief time interval between two entities.
Side by side
Describing proximity or closeness of two things or people.
One ringing true
Highlighting one as genuine or authentic.
The other one just a little bit behind
Suggesting a slight delay or lag in the other's authenticity.
Oh it only takes a second to start
Emphasizing the quick initiation of a situation or feeling.
And years and years
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact.
To get back to who you are
Conveying the lengthy process of rediscovering one's true self.
Oh I'm gonna need a second
Expressing a need for time to think or reorganize thoughts.
To rearrange my thoughts
Acknowledging a sudden shift in the speaker's role or status.
Cos one second I was your girl
Recalling a moment when the speaker was romantically connected.
The next second I was not
Noting the abrupt end of the romantic connection.
So how can this be my love?
Pondering the paradox of the current emotional state.
How can it be my love?
Questioning the authenticity or reality of love in this context.
And one second you were my man
Recalling a past romantic connection from a different perspective.
The next second you were gone
Expressing the sudden departure of the romantic partner.
So how can this be my love?
Pondering the authenticity of the previous romantic connection.
Do you believe in second shots?
Asking if there's belief in the possibility of a second chance.
Seconds apart
Reiterating the brief time gap between two entities.
But worlds away
Emphasizing a significant emotional distance despite physical closeness.
One on the run
Describing one entity as fleeing or escaping.
The other one just a' begging to stay
Indicating a strong desire from the other entity to remain.
Oh it only takes a second to lose
Stressing the quickness with which something valuable can be lost.
The reason why you came here
Questioning the motive or purpose behind entering a situation.
Why you walked into the room
Highlighting the significance of a moment or encounter.
Oh I'm gonna need a second
Expressing a need for time to process a change in relationship status.
Cos one second I was your girl
Recalling a moment when the speaker was romantically connected.
The next second I was not
Noting the abrupt end of the romantic connection.
So how can this be my love?
Pondering the paradox of the current emotional state.
How can it be my love?
Questioning the authenticity or reality of love in this context.
And one second you were my man
Recalling a past romantic connection from a different perspective.
The next second you were gone
Expressing the sudden departure of the romantic partner.
So how can this be my love?
Pondering the authenticity of the previous romantic connection.
Do you believe in second shots?
Asking if there's belief in the possibility of a second chance.
I need a second just a second baby yeah
Expressing a specific need for a short moment or pause.
I need a second just a second to breathe yeah
Reiterating the need for a brief pause to gather oneself.
I need a second just a second baby
Emphasizing the desire for a short break in the situation.
Oh a second to be, just a second to breathe
Expressing the need for a moment to exist and breathe.
Apart
Reiterating the physical distance between two entities.
Side by side
Describing the juxtaposition of physical closeness despite emotional separation.
