It Is What It Is
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think were thinking to hard
To put on your shoes and get in your car
Put it in drive and point it this way
We don't have to talk
You don't have to stay

But I ain't got no one sleepin' with me
And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
Maybe I love you
Maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is
Till it ain't
Anymore

We've tried being apart
But the truth is
We are who we are
Were so much alike
It ain't a good thing
Too dumb to give up
Too stubborn to change

But I ain't got no one sleepin' with me
And you ain't got no where that you need to be
Maybe I love you
Maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is
Till it ain't
Anymore

Till something better comes along
Till what ever we have is gone

But I ain't got no one sleepin' with me
And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
Maybe I love you
Maybe I'm just kind of bored
It is what it is
Till it ain't
Anymore
Yea it is what it is
Till it ain't
Anymore

This line showcases that the couple has reached a state where they understand why they are together and accepts that it might not be forever.

Line by Line Meaning

I think were thinking to hard
We are overthinking things


To put on your shoes and get in your car
Let's just leave and get away


Put it in drive and point it this way
Let's go in this direction without a plan


We don't have to talk
We don't need to discuss anything


You don't have to stay
You have the option to leave if you want to


But I ain't got no one sleepin' with me
I'm lonely and I miss having someone with me


And you ain't got nowhere that you need to be
You don't have any pressing commitments or plans


Maybe I love you
I might have feelings for you


Maybe I'm just kind of bored
I might just be looking for something to do


It is what it is
We are just in the moment without trying to define it


Till it ain't
Until this changes


Anymore
Things might not be the same


We've tried being apart
We have attempted to distance ourselves from each other


But the truth is
The reality is


We are who we are
We cannot change who we are as individuals


Were so much alike
We have many similarities


It ain't a good thing
This might not be a positive attribute


Too dumb to give up
We are both unwilling to end things


Too stubborn to change
We are both unwilling to change ourselves


Till something better comes along
Until a better option presents itself


Till what ever we have is gone
Until our current situation ends


Yea it is what it is
This is simply the state of things


Till it ain't
Until something changes


Anymore
Things might become different or end altogether
