I Should Get Round
Seasons of Love: A Musical Journey Through Time
Lyrics
I should get round to thinking out loud round you
I need to start expressing my thoughts openly about you.
I should get round to letting you know
I should make an effort to inform you.
That I could get used to spending my time round you
I could grow accustomed to spending time with you.
So I should come round if that sounds alright with you
I should visit if that's agreeable to you.
Your love was wasted in the Spring
Your love was not appreciated during the Spring.
In spite of pulses racing endlessly
Despite excitement, our connection didn't thrive.
A quiet breakfast, barely looked at me.
A quiet breakfast, you barely acknowledged me.
You looked as Belfast fell asleep
You seemed distant as Belfast fell asleep.
My expectations of the Summer brought us to the ocean
My summer expectations led us to the ocean, far from London.
Far from London’s remand
Away from the troubles of London.
The fragile foundations of the castles in my mind
The fragile foundations of my ideal world.
Found your line in the sand
I discovered your limit or boundary.
Wait I’m on my way
A statement indicating a willingness to act.
I should get round to thinking out loud round you
Reiteration of the need to express thoughts about you.
I should get round to letting you know
Repeating the intention to inform you.
That I could get used to spending my time round you
Reiterating the potential comfort of spending time with you.
So I should come round if that sounds alright with you
Reaffirming the willingness to visit if acceptable to you.
Turning heads in Autumn. An empty pub in Dublin
Gaining attention in Autumn in an empty Dublin pub.
“mon now and and sing us a song”
Encouragement to sing in a somewhat disheveled state.
Somewhat dishevelled as you nestled close to me
You, close to me, made me believe nothing could go wrong.
And made me think, “what could ever go wrong?”
Reflecting on positive thoughts about the relationship.
Connections in the Winter.
Making connections during the Winter.
Early check ins. Chicken dinner
Checking in early, having a chicken dinner.
And the ceilings in Glasgow are high
Describing the high ceilings in Glasgow.
In a leather wallet next to tattered receipts
Memories stored alongside worn receipts in a wallet.
A polaroid of you and I
A tangible memory captured in a polaroid.
Wait I’m on my way
Reiteration of the willingness to act.
Wait I’m on my way
Repeated expression of the readiness to act.
I should get round to thinking out loud round you
Repeating the need to openly express thoughts about you.
I should get round to letting you know
Reiterating the intention to inform you.
That I could get used to spending my time round you
Reaffirming the potential comfort of spending time with you.
So I should come round if that sounds alright with you
Reaffirming the willingness to visit if acceptable to you.
