Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have seen the summer sun come rest upon your cheek
And I have seen young Hercules grow feeble and grow weak
Memories of what I gave away
Lost love all the love that's lost along the way
Slow down let me hold you once before you fade

When all of my leaving is done then I will take my rest
Count all my possessions when there's no possessions left
Memories are all i have today
Lost love all the love that's lost and gone away
Slow down let me hold you once before you fade

And all my friends and family and lovers I have known
You know you mean much more to me than I have ever shown
Memories of what I gave away




Lost love all the love that's lost and gone away
Slow down let me hold you once before you fade

The singer pleads for time to slow down so they can hold onto what they have before it fades away, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life.

New York back in August
10th floor balcony
Smoke is floating over
Jane and Greenwich street
Goosebumps from your wild eyes
When they're watching me
Shivers dance down my spine
Head down to my feet
Swimming in your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, Egyptian blue
Something I've never had without you
You're giving me chills at a hundred degrees
It's better than pills how you put me to sleep
Calling your name, the only language I can speak
Taking my breath, a souvenir that you can keep
Giving me chills (chills)
Sunset tower lobby, waiting there for me
In the elevator, fumble for your key
Kissed in every corner, Presidential Suite
Opened a Bordeaux from 1993
Swimming in your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, Egyptian blue
Something I've never had without you
You're giving me chills at a hundred degrees
It's better than pills how you put me to sleep
Calling your name, the only language I can speak
Taking my breath, a souvenir that you can keep
Giving me chills
Take my, take-take my breath away just like
Take my breath away just like a souvenir
Take my, take-take my breath away just like
Take my breath away just like a souvenir (souvenir, souvenir)
You're giving me chills at a hundred degrees (a hundred)
It's better than pills how you put me to sleep
Calling your name, the only language I can speak
Taking my breath, a souvenir that you can keep
Giving me chills
Take my, take-take my breath away just like
Take my breath away just like a souvenir (giving me chills)
Take my, take-take my breath away just like
Take my breath away just like a souvenir
