We Don't Have Much to Say
Afternoon Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Asking me "why?" asking me "how could i?"
I push you back and said "how dare you come to me?!"
well, this is not about how could it all happen
This is really not if we can't fix the problem
you just need to know that i can't stand the lonesome
again, someday, you will ignore me on the phone
let's turn back the time, see! you were never mine!
i sould have killed you when you said that you love me too
i hate you! all the thing that you do!
i got you on my mail
you still ask why, to make sure how could i
i want to wrote you back, but no, i will never wrote you back
This is not about the radiation of the computer
this ius really not if my fingers are get burnt
you just need to know that i can't stand the lonesome
again, someday, you will ignore me on the phone
You never make me feel like i was the one
let's turn back the time, see! you were never mine!
i sould have killed you when you said that you love me too
i hate you! all the thing that you do!
The lyrics of “Please Tell Me How to Turn Back the Time” by Afternoon Talk paint the picture of a failed relationship that has left the singer in a state of heartbreak and frustration. The opening lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing had done something unforgivable, hence being on their knees asking "why" and "how they could." The singer pushes back against this person, telling them of how dare they come to them. The singer wants this person to know that it's not about what happened between them. The problem looms that they cannot fix their issues, and the lonely feeling is unbearable for the singer. They face being ignored on the phone again someday.
The remainder of the song follows the same storyline, with the singer recounting how they no longer want this person in their life. The chorus is especially powerful as the singer dreams of turning time back to a point when they weren't so in love, believing that their life would be better off without this person. Through these lyrics, Afternoon Talk taps into the emotions that come with realizing that a relationship has failed and that you are better off without that person.
