Lyrics
Whoever said life was like a river
Life being compared to a river, suggesting continuous flow and movement.
That was gonna roll on forever
The belief that life's course would persist indefinitely.
Had to have been
Implies the speaker's disbelief or skepticism about that notion.
Out of their mind
Questioning the sanity or rationality of the statement.
If I ever waste another minute
Promising not to waste time.
Simply for refusing to be in it
Refusing to stay apart from life's experiences.
Show me back in
Asking to be included regardless of circumstances (rain or shine).
Rain or come shine
Despite difficulties or challenges.
Tell me softly that you'd love to lay by my side
Asking for reassurance about being together.
No delaying just in case we run out of time
Emphasizing urgency due to the finite nature of time.
Hold me close just like a photograph
Desiring closeness likened to preserving a moment in a photograph.
Hoping it will last
Hope for the relationship or moment to endure.
Soon enough it's gonna be the past
Acknowledging the inevitability of passing time.
It's coming fast
Emphasizing the rapid approach of the future.
All I want is you to hear the sound of my voice
Desire for the listener's attention and connection.
Once you hear me I fear you'll be left with no choice
Anticipating that after being heard, the listener may feel compelled to respond.
Won't you hold me close just like a photograph?
Reiteration of longing for closeness akin to preserving memories.
Hoping it will last
Expressing hope for endurance like a photograph.
Because soon enough it's gonna be the past
Recognizing the fleeting nature of the present moment.
It's coming fast
Highlighting the swift approach of the future.
Whoever said life was like a river
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing skepticism about the concept of life as an eternal river.
