Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seen her in my dreams and now she's standing next to me
Down by the shore first weekend of the summer
Gotta take chance and just ask for her number
I wish I had a song on MTV
Cause in crowded room I'd be the only one she`d see
She's looking bored and now I'm running out of time
I've only got six minutes if I'm gonna make her mine
One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
'Nother minute and she makes me feel brand new
That's just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she's everything I see
Five minutes and she's that were I wanna be
'Nother minute everything just feels so new
That's just six minutes with you
Six minutes
She's looking at her watch while the dj is spinnin'
This could be the end or its just the beginnin'
She's the kinda girl that I wanna know better
Reaching for her keys so I guess it's now or never
I wish that I was on the radio
I'd sing her favorite song she'd be front row at every show
This party's lame and now I'm running out of time
I've only got six minutes if I'm gonna make her mine
One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
'Nother minute and she makes me feel brand new
That's just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she's everything I see
Five minutes and she's that were I wanna be
'Nother minute everything just feels so new
That's just six minutes with you
Six minutes
Sometimes I feel like the catcher in the rye
Sometimes I wish that I could catch her eye
Sometimes I wish that I could be that guy (that guy, that guy, that guy)
Yeah, time is passing by
I'm losing my mind
I need
One, two, three, four, five, six minutes with you
One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
'Nother minute and she makes me feel brand new
That's just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she's everything I see
Five minutes and she's that were I wanna be
'Nother minute everything just feels so new
That's just six minutes with you
Six minutes
The song is about a boy who meets a girl, who he's only seen in his dreams, at the beach on the first weekend of the summer. He's infatuated with her and wishes he had a song on MTV to get her attention. The clock is ticking and he only has six minutes to make her his. As the minutes pass, he falls more and more in love with her, but he's uncertain if it's the end or the beginning. He wishes he could be the one for her, and time passes by so quickly that he feels like he's losing his mind. Despite the time pressure, six minutes with her feels brand new and everything he wants.
The lyrics convey the sense of urgency and desperation that the boy feels. He's trying to make the most of the limited time with the girl, hoping that it could lead to a relationship. The lyrics also refer to the idea of the passage of time and how quickly it goes by when you're with someone you're excited about.
