Minute by Minute
Time's Embrace: Navigating Love's Uncertainties
Lyrics
Hey, don't you worry, I've been lied to
Expressing reassurance to someone who has been deceived or misled in the past.
I've been here many times before
Indicating personal experience with similar situations in the past.
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
Assuring the girl about one's self-awareness and confidence in the relationship.
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
Declaring independence, stating that the speaker doesn't require the love or assistance being offered.
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Highlighting the fragility of the relationship, where the girl could leave abruptly.
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
Expressing readiness to continue and move forward despite potential challenges.
But minute by minute by minute by minute
Repeating the theme of perseverance, holding on to the relationship despite difficulties.
I keep holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I keep holding on
-You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Suggesting that the girl stays in the relationship merely to observe or possibly deceive.
Will away on lies from you
Referring to the lies and deceit that the speaker experiences in the relationship.
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
Acknowledging a habitual pattern of living life on the run, possibly avoiding commitment.
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Taking the relationship for granted, assuming the girl is the only significant other.
Livin' on my own
Contemplating the idea of living independently and questioning the perception of being a fool.
Somehow that sounds nice
-You think I'm you fool
-Well, you may just be right
-But minute by minute by minute by minute
Reiterating the central theme of holding on to the relationship, emphasizing the passage of time.
I keep holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I keep holding on
-Call my name and I'll be gone
Suggesting a potential separation where the speaker may not be available when called upon.
You'll reach out and I won't be there
-Just my luck you'll realize
-You should spend your life with someone
-You could spend your life with someone
Encouraging the idea that the girl could find someone else to spend her life with.
But minute by minute by minute by minute
Final repetition of the commitment to hold on, even though the circumstances may change.
I keep holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I keep holding on
