This Time
Minor Majority Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is running out
She's not coming over
Not even dropping by

And I don't need no other friend
Don't want no other lover
Not as long as she's around
This time. this time.

So you've seen me on my knees
Surrounded by memories
It's the one thing you can't have

You've been watching me crawl
The least you could do is call
Or have the curtisy to call back

This time. this time. this time. this time...

And everywhere I go
Everyone I get to know
They all seem to drop out
Baby, won't you come back
Just to show me around?

Time is running out
She's not coming over
Not even dropping by

And I could use another friend
Someone elses shoulder
Someone elses hand

This time. this time. this time. this time.

And everywhere I go
Everyone I get to know
They all seem to drop out




Baby, won't you come back
Just to show me around?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Minor Majority's "This Time" speak to the pain of unrequited love and the desperation that arises when one's efforts to maintain a connection with a former lover go unanswered. The singer's internal monologue reveals their deep longing for the absent lover and their profound sense of loss in their absence. The repetition of the phrase "this time" suggests a futile hope for a change in circumstances, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that perhaps this time things will be different and their love will be returned.


The verse "So you've seen me on my knees / Surrounded by memories / It's the one thing you can't have" speaks to the idea that memories are a powerful force that cannot be taken away or replicated by anyone else. The singer is acknowledging the power of their shared memories with their lost love while also reinforcing the fact that those memories belong to them alone and cannot be shared or replaced.


The chorus "And everywhere I go / Everyone I get to know / They all seem to drop out / Baby, won't you come back / Just to show me around?" highlights the singer's isolation and desperation for connection. It's clear that they are struggling to move on from their past relationship and are constantly seeking out new people in the hopes of finding someone who can fill the void left by their ex.


Overall, the lyrics to "This Time" are a poignant and relatable reflection on the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship.

Time is running out
I am running out of time to see her


She's not coming over
She is not coming over to my place


Not even dropping by
She is not even dropping by for a short time


And I don't need no other friend
I do not need any other friend besides her


Don't want no other lover
I do not want another lover except for her


Not as long as she's around
As long as she is present, I do not want anybody else


This time. this time.
I hope she'll come to me this time


So you've seen me on my knees
You have seen me when I was down


Surrounded by memories
Memories are surrounding me and making me weak


It's the one thing you can't have
She cannot have my memories


You've been watching me crawl
She has been seeing me struggle and trying to get by

She could at least call me

Everywhere I visit


Everyone I get to know
Everyone I try to get closer to


They all seem to drop out
They all seem to leave me


Baby, won't you come back
I want her to come back to me


Just to show me around?
I want her to show me around and be with me again


And I could use another friend
I could use someone else to talk to


Someone elses shoulder
I need someone else to cry on


Someone elses hand
I need someone else's hand to hold


This time. this time. this time. this time...
I hope she will come to me every time
