“Ten Minutes” is the first single and the 6th track off the Get Up Kid’s 1999 record, Something to Write Home About.
This hit single has endured continued success throughout the bands lifetime.
This song is about a breakup from the point of view of the brokenhearted and all the emotions that rush in...
[Verse 1]
Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my friends all say I'm crazy
Maybe I'm being selfish
(Maybe I'm being selfish)
Maybe I'm just scared
(Maybe I'm just scared)
Don't be gone when I get home
I need you there
[Pre-Chorus]
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart
[Verse 2]
Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my heart is saying, "You're crazy."
Maybe things are getting better
(Maybe things are getting better)
Maybe things aren't so bad
(Maybe things aren't so bad)
Don't be gone when I get home
You're all I have
[Pre-Chorus]
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart
[Chorus]
Pockets empty
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out
It works out
[Bridge]
Sometimes, I miss you more
Whenever I'm at home
I've been home all summer
Now, I'm leaving you alone
[Chorus]
Pockets empty
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out
Everything will work out
Everything will work out
