Lyrics
Twenty seconds on the back time
Reflecting on a brief moment in the past
I feel you're on the run
Sensing that someone is avoiding commitment or responsibility
Never lived too long to make right
Not having enough time to correct mistakes or make amends
I see you're doing fine
Observing that the person is doing well without involvement
And when I get that feeling
Expressing a recurring emotional state
I can no longer slide
Feeling unable to escape or avoid a situation, losing the ability to have fun
I can no longer run, oh, no, no
-And when I get that feeling
-I can no longer hide
-For it's no longer fun, oh, no, no
-Yeah, you can say what you want
Asserting independence and resilience against others' opinions
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
-What I am is what you want of me
Defending one's true self against external expectations
Yeah, now that I'm not there
Being absent and indifferent to others' judgments
I took the tables away from you
-It's turned and I don't care
-And when I get that feeling
Reiterating the loss of enjoyment and hiding from emotional challenges
I can no longer slide
-I can no longer run, oh, no, no
-And when I get that feeling
-I can no longer hide
-For it's no longer fun, oh, no, no
-Yeah, you can say what you want
Reaffirming emotional constancy despite external influences
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
-Yeah, you can say what you want
Emphasizing resistance to changing feelings based on others' words
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
-I've said goodnight, try to sleep tight
Saying goodbye and suggesting pleasant dreams in separation
Oh, just dream of me
-Go close your eyes, 'cause I've closed mine
-The sun will shine from time to time
-Oh, when you dream of me
Assuring that positive moments will occur in dreams
Yeah, you can say what you want
Repeating the refusal to be swayed by external opinions on emotions
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
-Yeah, you can say what you want
Stressing the immutability of personal feelings despite external influences
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
-Yeah, you can say what you want
Final affirmation of emotional steadfastness
But it won't change my mind
-I feel the same about you
-And you can tell me your reasons
-But it won't change my feelings
-I'll feel the same about you
