Little More Time
Asaf Avidan and the Mojos - The Reckoning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall 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 song "Little More Time" by Asaf Avidan and the Mojos explores the dynamics of a relationship in which one person feels burdened and overwhelmed, while the other person is seen as beautiful and carefree. The singer meets a woman on the road who acknowledges his beauty, but he is unable to fully reciprocate the connection due to his own struggles. The use of metaphors like "needle and cushion" and "sheep in a white heap" suggests a power imbalance and a sense of detachment. The singer feels trapped in his own pain, while the woman represents a source of respite and sweetness amidst the chaos.
The lyrics express a yearning for more time, a plea for a chance to make things right and find redemption. The repetitive refrain of "Why do we have to die? Give me just more time, I'm gonna make it all right" emphasizes the desperation and desire for a second chance. The imagery of scratching nails in the dirt, the inability to undo the hurt, and the statement that "it really sticks to you" implies a sense of guilt and regret that is difficult to shake off.
Overall, "Little More Time" delves into the complexities of relationships, the weight of personal struggles, and the longing for redemption and forgiveness.
