exploring the multiverses sound by sound and word by word
Story behind the song
story behind the song: hadn't heard the line in years, overheard it used and then used again the same day, but this time round it was simply somewhat amusing. recollections of the fear of asking and rejection in those tender teen and early twenties years and one particular response i heard (unfortunately i suppose) from time to time.
Lyrics
started with some idle chatter
conversations of no intent
don't know when you started to matter
my eyes glued where you went
didn't think i was that scattered
with you, i don't seem to mind
asked you out for coffee there
"can't right now, but maybe some time"
at first you know, i missed the hint
i've still got lots to learn
hid by my hopes, i didn't get it
waiting for your return
saw you later, walking in bliss
enraptured by some other guy
figured out your meaning real quick
"can't right now, but maybe some time"
and somehow still,
i think you fondly remember that line
politely no, when distilled
"can't right now, but maybe sometime.
maybe sometime"
and even now when i'm out walking
the urge to call you crosses my mind
as i remember your gentle mocking
"can't right now, but maybe sometime"
"can't right now, but maybe sometime"
