Happy In The Meantime
Lit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Well, have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime

I've gotta make up for losing time
'Cause I've been spinnin' my wheels all night
And I can't wait, can't hardly wait to see you
Things seem better off now
I think I'm better off now

It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Well, have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime

I guess the rain's gonna follow me
'Cause it's been dropping in Minor D
And I can't wait, can't hardly wait to see if
Things are better off now
I think I'm better off now

It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Well, have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime
Happy in the meantime

Let's save a little rain
And wash away the pain
I'll try and keep it clean
I'll show you what I mean
I don't want to keep you holdin' on
'Cause in the morning, I'll be gone
So long

Let's have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime

It's just another reason why
It all comes down to you and I
Let's have another drink
Waste some time with me
We're happy in the meantime




We're happy in the meantime
Happy in the meantime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Happy In The Meantime" by Lit speaks of how the two people in the song are happy together in the moment, despite the possibility that things may not work out between them in the long run. The opening line, "It's just another reason why, it all comes down to you and I," suggests that whatever else may be happening in the world, ultimately, the happiness or unhappiness of these two people is all that really matters. The line, "Let's save a little rain and wash away the pain," indicates a desire to forget past difficulties or hurt and just enjoy the present. The phrase "happy in the meantime" reinforces the idea that they are content with what they have now, even if they do not know what the future holds.


Towards the end of the song, the tone shifts to a more melancholic one. Lines like "I'll try and keep it clean, I'll show you what I mean", and "I don't want to keep you holdin' on 'cause in the morning, I'll be gone" give a sense of sadness and resignation. The final repetition of "happy in the meantime" sounds slightly like a compromise, a way of saying, "We might not end up together, but let's enjoy what we have while we can."


Overall, the song is a reflection on how it is often difficult to predict the future, but sometimes, it's enough to be happy in the moment. It's about taking chances and being content with what you have, even if it's not everything you want.
