a minute with you is enough
Journey of Understanding: A Minute with You by The Indexes
Lyrics
Back to where I once began
Returning to the starting point of a journey or experience.
Feelings I finally understand
Understanding emotions that were previously unclear.
The car's waiting patiently
Awaiting a car, possibly for a significant event with a band.
For my meeting with the band
Preparation for a meeting or collaboration with a musical group.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Having traveled a long distance.
Just to see you once in a while
Traveling extensively to see someone occasionally.
A minute with you is enough
Expressing contentment with just a brief moment spent together.
Lights out
Transitioning into a moment of intimacy or privacy.
I like to think you've got a
Appreciating a kind and friendly demeanor.
Kind face
Anticipation of a positive encounter on New Year's Eve.
It's New Year's Eve in the morning
Noting the arrival of the morning on New Year's Eve.
And the night's out
Acknowledging the end of the night.
(And the night's out)
Repetition for emphasis on the night's conclusion.
I hate to think that we're not right
Expressing discomfort at the thought of a strained relationship.
We're surrounded by all our friends
Being in the company of friends.
Buy me a bike
Requesting a bike as a symbolic gesture of commitment.
And i'll drive you wherever you want
Offering to provide transportation with a bike.
Buy me a mic
Desiring a microphone to express love through singing.
And i'll sing about you every time
Committing to sing about the person consistently.
Buy me a house
Symbolizing a house as a place of shared commitment and care.
And i'll treat as it if it were yours
Promising to treat a shared space with utmost care.
Buy me a kite
Desiring a kite to convey affection symbolically.
I'll fly it towards you every time
Expressing the intention to direct efforts towards the person.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Reiteration of the significant distance traveled to see someone.
Just to see you once in a while
Repeating the theme of extensive travel for occasional meetings.
A minute with you is enough
Stating contentment with even a brief moment together.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Reiteration of extensive travel for occasional encounters.
Just to see you once in a while
Repeating the theme of extensive travel for occasional meetings.
A minute with you is enough
Expressing contentment with even a brief moment together.
Well I divided the pile
Metaphorically dividing a pile, possibly a reference to overcoming obstacles.
Just to greet you with a smile
Greeting the person with a smile after overcoming challenges.
An hour without you is so tough
Highlighting the difficulty of spending an hour without the person.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Reiteration of extensive travel for occasional encounters.
Just to see you once in a while
Repeating the theme of extensive travel for occasional meetings.
A minute with you is enough
Expressing contentment with even a brief moment together.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Reiteration of extensive travel and commitment.
Well I traveled miles and miles
Further emphasis on the journey traveled.
Well i traveled
Final confirmation of extensive travel.
