That's life
If we had more time
We could live forever
Just you and I
We could be together

That's life
If we had more time
We could live forever
Just you and I
We could be together

We can play like children play
We can say like children say
Just you and I
Have we got the time

We get wise when we grow old
Get slow when we grow old
Just you and I
Have we got the time

Do you know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Time” by Khruangbin seem to convey a thought-provoking message about life and time. The first line “That’s life” suggests that life is unpredictable and we need to live in the present moment. The subsequent lines “If we had more time, we could live forever” indicate that time is a limited resource, and if only we had more of it, we could enjoy our life forever. The lines “Just you and I, we could be together” portray a sense of togetherness and the importance of spending quality time with our loved ones.


The middle section of the song emphasizes the importance of embracing our inner child, enjoying life to the fullest, and making plans for old age. The lines “We can play like children play, we can say like children say” encourage us to let go of our adult inhibitions and be carefree. The lines “Get wise when we grow old, get slow when we grow old” reflect the natural process of aging, but it’s essential to reminisce and plan for our golden years so we can make the most of the time we have left.


The final section of the song is a mixture of languages and cultures that promote the universal concept of life and time. The lyrics in different languages like Spanish, Arabic, Korean, Thai, Yoruba, Hebrew, and Hungarian highlight the idea that life is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed, irrespective of cultural and language barriers. The repeated chorus of “That’s life, if we had more time, we could live forever, just you and I” reminds us to cherish every moment we have with our loved ones and make the most of the time we have.
