Oooh asphyxiating, this one is tough to crack. At least for me!

I'll try.

Okay I almost got it.

I feel this song is talking about how so much of your life can change in a short time based on your decisions. Like all it takes is 30 minutes for you to take a chance that will change your life forever.

This line seems pivotal in this song:

"In the moment it takes To make plans, or mistakes" (BTW I think the lyrics here might be a little off)

It's saying

It compares how long it takes for anything life changing to happen. 30 minutes is a blink of the night (it's so quick). 30 minutes to all of our lives (In 30 minutes you'll never live the same).

So its two of them deciding whether they should stay or run away together. And what makes that decision so hard is how it will dramatically change them for the rest of their lives. But it is ironic because the decision is only 30 minutes.
