Discussion questions

  1. The singer says 'time goes by so slowly' when waiting. Why does time feel slower when we are waiting for something important? Has this ever happened to you?
  2. The song uses the phrasal verb 'hung up on you' to mean obsessed, and 'hanging up on you' to mean ending a phone call. How does this double meaning change the emotional message of the song?
  3. Near the end, the singer says 'I'll find my way' and 'you'll wake up one day, but it'll be too late.' Do you think this is a sad ending or an empowering one? Why?
