Buying Time
Lucky Daye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, four

Never sleep 'cause we night-owls
Roam the streets when the lights out
Get you all that you deserve
Sometimes I wish we could reverse
VVS and your Prada
Spend it 'til I'm down to nada
Red on your new bottoms
I can't seem to get you out 'em

Do what I'm liking
This feeling so righteous
How did you know I wouldn't fight this
Baby go spend it all
Let's catch a flight then
Eat, get the itis
Hoping some day I don't wake up
I'll pay up

Feels like I'm buying more time
So keep grooving
And don't stop
What you're doing
I'm buying more time
'Cause I need an overdose of that

And tell me you're mine (ooh-ooh)
Mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine
And tell me you're mine (ooh-ooh)
Mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine

I can't get off her love
I can't get off her drug
I get to panicking
When she go vanishing
Ain't no sign in the shade room
She say, "Broke bitches they be late soon"
Know I like it when you make rules
Tell me more I can pay you

Do what I'm liking
This feeling so righteous
How did you know I wouldn't fight this
Baby go spend it all
Let's catch a flight then
Eat, get the itis
Hoping some day I don't wake up
I'll pay up

Feels like I'm buying more time
So keep grooving
And don't stop
What you're doing
I'm buying more time
'Cause I need an overdose of that

And tell me you're mine (ooh-ooh)
Mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine
And tell me you're mine (ooh-ooh)
Mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine (ooh-ooh)
You're mine
Tell me you're mine

Fancy car, ride on my heart
Fancy car, shy? You ain't shy, no
Heart, more than you know
Ours, diamond and gold
The vice, all that we know
The life, diamond and gold
The vice, all that we know
The lights, all that we know




The eyes, all that she knows
The life, all that she'll know

Overall Meaning

In Lucky Daye's song "Buying Time," the lyrics describe the desire to indulge in material possessions and experiences with a romantic partner. The song seems to suggest that money can buy happiness and prolong the present moment, perhaps because the future is uncertain. The opening lines explain that the singers are night-owls and often roam the streets when the lights are out. The singer wants to shower his partner with everything she deserves, including fine jewelry, designer clothes, and exotic travel. He seems to place a premium on living life in the moment and enjoying every experience to the fullest.


Throughout the song, the lyrics reflect the singer's intense passion for his partner. He describes her as a drug that he can't get enough of and panics when she's not around. The singer seems to be aware of the transient nature of life and wants to enjoy every moment with his partner before it's too late. He suggests that love can be bought through material indulgences and constantly tells his partner that she is his. The repetition of the words "tell me you're mine" gives the impression that the singer is desperate to keep his partner by his side and is willing to use money to make that happen.


Overall, "Buying Time" seems to be a commentary on the desire for instant gratification and living life to the fullest, even if it means indulging in material possessions. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the mind of someone who is infatuated with a romantic partner and wants to experience all that life has to offer with them.

Never sleep 'cause we night-owls
Roam the streets when the lights out
Give you the world that you deserve
Sometimes I wish we could reverse
VVS and your Prada
Spend it 'til I'm down to nada
Red on your new bottoms
I can't seem to get you out 'em

Do what I'm liking
This feeling so righteous
How did you know I wouldn't fight this
Baby go spend it all
Let's catch a flight then
Eat, get the itis
Hoping some day I don't wake up
I'll pay up

Feels like I'm buying more time
So keep grooving
And don't stop
What you're doing
I'm buying more time
'Cause I need an overdose of that

And tell me you're mine (ooh ooh)
