Lyrics
What would it take for you
Questioning what it would require from the listener.
What would it take to tell a lie?
Asking about the willingness to tell a falsehood.
Not much it seems, 'cause you did it all the time
Observing that lying seems effortless and frequent.
& babe we got time
Expressing the availability of time with a partner.
You said
Quoting the partner affirming the abundance of time.
We got our whole lives
Reiterating the partner's assurance about the duration of their lives.
Aw, you said
Repeating the partner's optimistic statement.
What would it take for you
Raising the question again, this time about saying farewell.
What would it take to say goodbye?
Noting the apparent ease and frequency of saying goodbye.
Not much it seems, 'cause you do it all the time
Highlighting the common occurrence of farewells.
& babe we got time
Reaffirming the presence of time in the relationship.
You said
Recalling the partner's positive perspective on time.
We got our whole lives
Reiterating the partner's optimistic view of their future.
Aw, you said
Echoing the partner's positive affirmation.
Would it matter now, would it matter what I said to you?
Pondering if communication matters at this point.
Would it mean a thing, would it mean a fucking thing
Questioning the significance of words and expressions.
Or should I just go out in style?
Considering an alternative, potentially dramatic approach.
'cause babe we got time
Reverting to the idea of having time in the relationship.
You said
Recalling the partner's positive perspective on time once more.
We got our whole lives
Reiterating the partner's optimistic view of their future again.
Aw, you said
Echoing the partner's positive affirmation once again.
Are we out of time
Raising uncertainty about the current status of time in the relationship.
Are we out of time
-Are we out of time
-Are we out of time
-Are we out of time
-Are we out of time
-Are we?
Persisting with the question of whether time is still available.
