Monty Are I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we could count stories with my sheets
Two lovers in a noisy town.
The good times don't mean shit when I'm relying on telephone lines
To keep you from crying, so you don't leave me.
And I must pray.
Forgive me for saying,
But it's a complicated mess, and what it comes down to is just me.
What if we touch lips just this once, and a blindfold leads to sinning?
And she said, "Holding my hand makes me comfortable,
And just surround me with loving, baby.
Not gonna wait around, cause I'm falling down and you're leaving town."
Thought she was fearfully free.
And I just made up my mind, just in time for you to leave me.
Now that that's out of the way.
Invested all our time, for three great years we had a good scare.
Now come give me a sign that you're just not messing with my mind.
The lyrics to Monty Are I's song Just In Time talk about the trials and tribulations of a relationship as it comes to an end. The singer laments that ever since they left his partner, he felt like he let her down. He looks back at their past and reminisces about the good times they shared as a couple. However, those memories don't mean much to him when he is forced to rely on phone lines just to keep her from crying and leaving him. He feels like the relationship is a "complicated mess" and everything comes down to him.
In the chorus, he prays for forgiveness for questioning whether their relationship was a mistake. He wonders what would happen if they touched lips one last time and if his blindfold in that moment would lead him to sin. His partner responds to his inquiry with the notion that holding hands makes her comfortable, and she only wants him to surround her with love. The singer acknowledges that he can't wait around any longer because he is already falling down, and his partner is leaving town. He thought that she was "fearfully free," but he's come to the realization that she's going to leave him soon. The song ends with the singer asking his partner for a sign that she's not messing with his mind.
