Little More Time
Asaf & the Mojos Avidan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a heavy, heavy load
She said "Oh my lord, you're beautiful"
Now it's hard to do the pushin'
When you're a needle, and she's a cushion
You know, there ain't gonna be too much mushin' that way.
In a whole big white heap
All they are is cotton for him to sleep on.
Why do we have to die?
Give me just more time,
I'm gonna make it all right.
All he had left in him was his pain
She was a sweet field of sugar cane
He was a walking hurricane
Use your imagination.
He scratches his nails in the dirt
Still he couldn't undo all the hurt
It clang like sweat, onto his shirt
You know how it does.
You can't teach a new dog old tricks
You can break but you cannot fix
You cannot, cause it, it really sticks to you.
Why do we have to die?
Give me just more time,
I'm gonna make it all right.
(We're gonna take it up one notch)
Little more time, a little more time
Little more time, a little more time
Little more time, a little more time
A Little more time, a little more time
All I need is time to get home to you (X4)
Time
To get home to you (X4)
The lyrics of "Little More Time" by Asaf & the Mojos Avidan speak about a tumultuous relationship and the desire for more time to make things right.
The song begins by describing how the singer met someone while carrying a heavy burden. The person they met is captivated by their beauty, which sets the stage for their connection. However, the lyrics mention how it's challenging for the singer to take action in the relationship, as they feel vulnerable like a needle surrounded by a cushion. This intimate dynamic prevents them from fully engaging or expressing their emotions.
The singer compares his partner to a sheep in a vast flock, illustrating how they feel that their significant other is just one among many. They consider the relationship to be superficial, where their partner is merely someone they can rely on for comfort and sleep. This portrayal emphasizes a sense of detachment or disillusionment that the singer may feel.
The lyrics then delve into the universal question of why we have to die, expressing a longing for more time. The singer pleads for additional time, believing that they can eventually make everything right. It implies that there is unfinished business, unresolved issues, or unfulfilled promises that the singer hopes to address given the chance.
The rest of the song discusses the singer's pain and compares it to a walking hurricane. They struggle to undo the hurt they have caused or experienced, symbolized by scratching their nails in the dirt. The lyrics acknowledge that some wounds cannot be easily healed or corrected. There is a recognition that although you might be able to break something, fixing it is a different challenge altogether.
The repetition of "Little more time" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's plea for additional time to make the necessary changes and bring resolution to the relationship. The song ends with the repeated phrase, "Time, to get home to you," conveying the ultimate desire to reunite with their partner and find solace within their love.
