Time
Free Nationals Mac Miller & Kali Uchis Lyrics

I gotta take some time to grow
I need to focus on myself and my personal growth.

But I don't wanna let you go
Even though I need space, I still care about you and don't want to lose our relationship.

How did we get too comfortable?
We became too complacent and forgot to work on our relationship.

But without you, I'm miserable
I still need you in my life.

I think I got too comfortable
I became too reliant on our relationship and forgot about my own needs.

We could take it to the day that I saw you
Let's remember the good times we had together.

On your way to the top
When things were going well for us.

Or we could take it to the time that I saw you lose you mind
Let's also acknowledge the tough times we've been through together.

And give up
When we struggled to maintain our relationship.

Everybody gets down on luck
Everyone has tough times in life.

Every time you fall I try to pick you up
I am always there to support you through difficult times.

But I need reciprocation
I also need you to support me and our relationship.

You got what I need to
You have qualities that I value and appreciate.

Get through the night
You help me feel safe and secure.

But can you be my rock? (No)
You may not be able to provide the support I need right now.

Slip and can you pull me up (no)
I may not be able to rely on you to help me when I need it.

I just want to be your girl, and not your mom
I want an equal partnership where we both take care of ourselves and each other.

Is that so wrong?
I don't think it's unreasonable to want a healthy relationship.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A repetition of sounds to add emphasis and energy to the song.

Look at me watering seeds, it's time to grow
I am taking care of my own needs and cultivating personal growth.

I get out of control when I'm alone
I struggle to manage my emotions and thoughts without support.

If you can make it with me, you can make it on your own
If our relationship can survive difficult times, we can also succeed independently.

So quit the bullshit and playing on my phone
Stop avoiding our problems and communicate with me honestly.

We just need some time
We need space to reflect and work on ourselves individually.

Keep watching, let it all unwind
Have faith and trust that things will work out in the end.

You get yours, of course, I get mine
We should focus on our own growth and goals while supporting each other.

And in the end, everything will be fine, that's by design
Ultimately, things will work out as they are meant to.

Well, I don't trip, but I slip, I fall
I am not perfect and make mistakes.

Sleep all day, maybe miss your calls
I may struggle to maintain a healthy routine and prioritize our relationship.

Like I been missing you
I have been longing for your companionship and support.

Still, I continue, tied up and tripping
I am still struggling but trying to move forward regardless.

I'm making the wrong decisions and you sick of it all
My choices have been negatively affecting our relationship.

But don't leave me, don't leave me
Even though things are tough, I still want to work things out with you.

Because it feel too good to be easy (yeah)
Our relationship may be challenging, but it's worth it because it feels right.

It's been a while, and I'm even different now
We have both changed over time and need to re-evaluate our relationship.

Shit, I'll probably make it better when you see me
I am actively working on being a better partner for you.

See, I don't ask for much (no)
I am not high-maintenance or demanding in our relationship.

I just want to talk and touch (no)
I value emotional intimacy and physical affection in our relationship.

I gotta take some time to grow
Reiterated for emphasis and to demonstrate the song's primary message.

But without you, I'm miserable
I still rely on your support and companionship in my life.

I think I got too comfortable
Reiterated for emphasis and to acknowledge my complicity in our relationship's issues.
