No Time
Iration Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a picture of you on my phone
Don't mind the other day
Our other patience is a virtue
But I'm not the kind to sit and wait

I need someone who keeps me motivated
When I pick up my guitar
I need someone who keeps me dedicated
Wherever we are

I'm living on the run, like an escapee
No time to sit and wait, another sycamore tree cause
We got no, We got no time
No time to just sit back
Got to face reality
When the wheels roll out that's where we got to be so
We got no, We got no time

I wake up to the smell of your Jasmine
Things are alright by me
But the hands on the clock, on the wall, in the room
It got me locked up, penitentiary

I need someone who keeps me motivated
When I pick up my guitar
I need someone who keeps me dedicated
Wherever we are

I'm living on the run, like an escapee
No time to sit and wait, another sycamore tree cause
We got no, We got no time
No time to just sit back
Got to face reality
When the wheels roll out that's where we got to be so
We got no, We got no time

I need someone who keeps me motivated
When I pick up my guitar
I need someone who keeps me dedicated
Wherever we are

I'm living on the run, like an escapee
No time to sit and wait, another sycamore tree cause
We got no, We got no time
No time to just sit back
Got to face reality




When the wheels roll out that's where we got to be so
We got no, We got no time
