We Don't Have Much Time
Lips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So say exactly what's been on your mind
We don't have much choice
So go ahead, use your voice
I thought about it every day
I 've racked my brains to find another way
Despite how much I wish it
Cause no one in this world would ever vouch for us two
And though I fight to feel it
It's a pleasure marred by pain
I'll long have left the gate before they ever board the plane
Baby we don't have much time
So say exactly what's been on your mind
We don't have much choice
So go ahead, use your voice
I thought about it every day
I 've racked my brains to find another way
And despite how much I wish it
I won't belong to you
Cause no one in this world would ever vouch for us two
And though I fight to feel it
It's a pleasure marred by pain
I'll long have left the gate before they ever board the plane
So go ahead and move your bishop
Cause your rook is on the floor
And your queen has line the pawns up and they're marching out the door
And if I only knew the code then I would wind the wheels to stop
I'd give anything in this world for just a minute off the clock
For just a minute off this clock
Baby we don't have much time
So say exactly what's been on your mind
I thought about it every day
Damned if I can find a way
In "We Don't Have Much Time" by Lips, the singer is urging their partner to speak their mind before time runs out. They acknowledge that their relationship is limited and seemingly impossible, but they still yearn to be with each other. The lyrics express the singer's struggle between their desire and the reality of their circumstances.
The phrase "Baby we don't have much time" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The singer wants to hear their partner's thoughts before it's too late, and they fear that their time together is running out. The lyrics "I thought about it every day // I've racked my brains to find another way" suggest that the singer has been trying to come up with a solution, but has been unsuccessful.
While the singer longs to be with their partner, they are also aware that their relationship is frowned upon. The line "no one in this world would ever vouch for us two" implies that society would not accept their love. Despite this, the singer still fights for their relationship, even though it is "a pleasure marred by pain." The use of the chess metaphor towards the end of the song ("move your bishop // cause your rook is on the floor // and your queen has line the pawns up and they're marching out the door") suggests that they feel as though they are in a game that they cannot win.
Line by Line Meaning
Baby we don't have much time
The time we have left is short and we need to be honest with each other
So say exactly what's been on your mind
Tell me the truth, don't hold back any feelings you have
We don't have much choice
Our options are limited and we need to make a decision
So go ahead, use your voice
Speak up, let me know what you're thinking
I thought about it every day
I've been thinking about this situation constantly
I 've racked my brains to find another way
I've tried to find a different solution, but I can't
Despite how much I wish it
Even though I really want it to happen
I won't belong to you
We won't end up together
Cause no one in this world would ever vouch for us two
Our relationship doesn't have the support of others
And though I fight to feel it
Even though I try to hold onto the feeling
It's a pleasure marred by pain
Our happiness is clouded by sadness
I'll long have left the gate before they ever board the plane
I'll be gone before we can ever make this work
So go ahead and move your bishop
Make your move, take action
Cause your rook is on the floor
You're in a vulnerable position
And your queen has line the pawns up and they're marching out the door
You have all your resources lined up and ready to go
And if I only knew the code then I would wind the wheels to stop
If I had the solution, I would stop time
I'd give anything in this world for just a minute off the clock
I would do anything to just have a moment to slow down time
For just a minute off this clock
Just a small moment to breathe and pause
Damned if I can find a way
I can't seem to find a solution to this problem
