Space Babe
Mr Twin Sister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time, taking its time
To land through the sky
I'd be there by now
To see where you live

If it were up to me
If it were up to me
If it were up to me
I'd never leave

To go, to not see

How you live here
Without me

If it were up to me
If it were up to me




If it were up to me
I'd never leave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mr Twin Sister's song "Space Babe" are quite introspective and seem to delve into themes of longing, distance, and perhaps even unrequited love. The singer laments the passing of time, suggesting that it feels as though it takes an eternity for them to travel through space to reach their love interest's location. The repeated refrain of "if it were up to me" suggests a sense of helplessness or resignation; perhaps the singer feels as though they have no control over the distance between themselves and their love interest.


The refrain of "I'd never leave" seems to emphasize the singer's desire to be close to their love interest, suggesting that they would stay indefinitely if it were possible. The final lines of the song, with the repeated phrase "if it were up to me," seem to suggest that while the singer may feel strongly towards their love interest, they understand that there are some factors that are out of their control.


Overall, "Space Babe" seems to be a song about longing and distance, exploring the complicated emotions that can arise when we care deeply about someone who is physically far away. The repetition of certain phrases underscores the emotional weight of the song, emphasizing the singer's frustration and emotional turmoil.
