Dawes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me time.
If there's one thing you could give
to help me show you all that's mine,
give me time.
Show me love.
Show me love.
that I've not had any of,
show me love.
Help me see.
Help me see.
If you know what it would take
to find the patience that you need,
help me see.
Give me time.
Give me time.
If there's one thing you could give
to help me show you all that's mine,
give me time.
Oh oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of Dawes's song "Give Me Time" are a plea for patience and understanding in a relationship. The repeated phrase "give me time" is a request for space and the opportunity to demonstrate one's worth and contributions to the relationship. The first verse asks for time to demonstrate all that the singer has to offer, implying that there may be hidden qualities or talents that the other person has not yet seen. The second verse asks for love, which may suggest a lack of affection or emotional support in the relationship. The final verse asks for guidance and support in finding the patience needed to make the relationship work.
The song's simple repetitive structure emphasizes the importance of time, love, and support in a relationship. The emphasis on these themes makes the song accessible to a wide audience and allows for personal interpretation and reflection. The song's gentle and catchy melody creates a relatable and emotional connection with the listener, making it an effective representation of the band's unique blend of Americana and indie rock.
