Time
сhase and status Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can find the time
To give your love to me
I will wait for you
If that's all you need (Time, time)
If you can find the time (Time, time)
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere.
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you.
But if you can't find the time (Time, time, time)
Then cut me loose.

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

If you can find the time
To give your love to me
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time,
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll, I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose.

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

'Cause I don't have the time
'Cause I don't have the time





My bleeding heart won't make it

Overall Meaning

The song "Time" by Chase and Status is about the frustration and pain of waiting for someone who doesn't seem to have enough time for the relationship. The lyrics express the desire to be with this person, but also highlight the toll that waiting is taking on the singer's emotional well-being. The opening lines set the tone for the song and the singer's attitude toward the situation: "If you can find the time, to give your love to me, I will wait for you, if that's all you need."


Despite the promise to wait, the song quickly turns to a more desperate tone. The singer pleads for the other person to be honest and "just be sincere," but the frustration leads to anger, "What do you take me for? Why must I wait?" The repeated line "I don't have the time, and I don't have the patience" emphasizes the singer's growing impatience and resentment toward being left waiting. The reference to a "bleeding heart" suggests the pain and heartache that waiting is causing.


Overall, "Time" is a powerful expression of the emotional toll that waiting for someone can take. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration, anger, and pain that many people can relate to when dealing with uncertain relationships.

Nor me I used to get on the marching powder and go on a downer listening to this. Nice to listen to straight ficking drugs, almost the end of me almost.
