About A Couple Minutes
“A Couple Minutes” is a reflective ballad about the fleeting moment of reconnecting with someone who once meant everything. In the song, Dean sings about the raw intimacy of a brief reunion, just enough time to feel the weight of old memories, yet not enough to fully relive them. She explores feelings of care, closure, and the quiet comfort of knowing love was never wasted, even when it couldn’t last. During the tracking week ending November 8, 2025, the song debuted at #87 on the Hot 100. .
A Couple Minutes Lyrics
[00:17.06]Turn around
[00:20.10]Since when are you smoking now?
[00:27.44]It's been a while, let me know
[00:35.53]Like, did you end up moving house?
[00:43.24]You're the only one who knows that name
[00:47.00]You're the only one does that face
[00:50.83]I just wanna know if you're okay
[00:56.42]Only have a couple minutes, it already kinda feels like
[01:02.19]
[01:02.75]Back on your sofa
[01:06.48]Of course still I care
[01:10.33]Love's never wasted
[01:13.70]When it's shared
[01:17.96]And although it's over
[01:21.87]I'll always be there
[01:27.20]Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life
[01:33.81]
[01:41.13]I guess we've found a silver lining
[01:44.73]I'm glad you're doing so well
[01:48.63]If only you could see how I've been
[01:52.08]If I'm being real, you know it ain't been the same
[01:54.82]We could talk if we want now
[01:59.75]But I already know it's no good for me
[02:02.56]
[02:02.60]It's alright think I'm fine with the silence
[02:06.35]There's some good in goodbyes
[02:08.94]Oh, I
[02:11.22]
[02:11.82]Back on your sofa
[02:15.41]Of course still I care
[02:19.42]Love's never wasted
[02:22.95]When it's shared
[02:26.99]And although it's over
[02:30.79]I'll always be there
[02:36.22]Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life
[02:42.16]
[02:40.66]In your heart
[02:42.34]Every part of me
[02:44.53]We'll let go
[02:46.18]And let it start to be
[02:48.18]In your heart
[02:50.05]Every part of me
[02:52.12]We'll let go
[02:53.84]And let it start to be
[02:56.06]In your heart
[02:57.74]Every part of me
[02:59.88]We'll let go
[03:01.44]And let it start to be
[03:03.67]In your heart
[03:05.39]Every part of me
[03:07.51]We'll let go
[03:09.06]And let it start to be
[03:13.13]
[03:14.72]Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life
[03:22.86]Have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life
[03:28.46]
