I Don't Mind
Alcoa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's talk about the old days,
Let's talk about your friends,
Let's talk about the summer
And how you wish it wouldn't end.

Did I forget to tell you,
How pretty you looked in that dress?
In the first time that I saw you,
You cleaned the mess from my head.

And I don't mind,
If we take our time.
No,
I don't mind.

Lets go walkin' on the boardwalk,
Dip our feet into the sea.
Lets find ourselves lost for hours,
Until we find ourselves a drink.

Lets talk that sun into setting,
Just need the sound of your voice.
Need that calming and the comfort,
Something to drown out the noise.

And I don't mind,
If we take our time,
'Cause I'm all yours
If you're all mine.

Something I've been meanin' to tell you,
About three years and a day.
I'd very much like to get married,
Maybe have kids and move away,

'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile,
Your legs and those eyes.
I will beg and steal and borrow
To keep you safe your whole life.

And I don't mind,
If we take our time,




'Cause I'm all yours
If you're all mine.

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Mind" by Alcoa speaks about nostalgia and cherishing happy memories with a loved one. The opening line "Let's talk about the old days" sets the tone for reminiscing over past experiences and relationships. The lyrics seem to imply that the singer is speaking to someone they care about deeply, and wants to spend time with them, talking about old times, as well as hopes for the future. They express their admiration by complimenting their appearance and acknowledging that they have helped them through difficult times in the past.


The lyrics "let's talk that sun into setting, just need the sound of your voice" demonstrate that the singer values spending time with their loved one over anything else. They long to be lost in time together and temporarily escape from all the noise of the world. The song's chorus of "I don't mind if we take our time" suggests that the singer is in no rush to move too fast but is content to take things slow as they enjoy each other's company.


Toward the end of the song, the singer admits that they are ready to commit to a lifetime of love with their partner; they want to get married, have children, and start a life together. The final chorus states that they are willing to go to great lengths to keep their loved one safe and happy, and that they are all in if they reciprocate the feelings.
