Right At The Time
O. Chapman feat. Faith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's been a long, long year.
God forbid you listen to me now.
I may have laid the pressure on good,
But since that day
I'll never ask again.

It's funny, it's come right down to this.
I have to steal my time cause
You won't give it up for free.
I've been talking to the moon all night,
But the stars won't say nothing to me.
And though I feel it's easy
For a man to grow up
Much harder for a man to grow out.
You may not appear,
But I'm standing here my God.
I'll never ask you.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me
You'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.

I know you're kind of busy right now.
Been a day, but I haven't heard your call.
I climbed a mountain just to get
A better view of you.
But I'll never ask again.

It's crazy that we just can't feel the time
And lay down for awhile.
And let life catch your eye.
I've been relaxing with the Wind all day.
But the Sky won't open up for me.
And though I feel it's easy
For a man to stand tall.
Much harder for a man to simmer down.
You may not appear,
But I'm standing here my god.
I'll never ask you.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me
You'd be right on my time.
If you give me just a minute of your day,
I see now why you choose to stay away.
Up here life seems more like living,
And living mirrors love.
And love just leaves me breathless.
On we go.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me
You'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.

You act like you can't see me.
You act like you don't know me.




I just wish you would show me
That you'll be right on my time

Overall Meaning

Right At The Time by O. Chapman is a song about a man who is desperately seeking the attention of a loved one but can't seem to get through. He has been waiting for this person for a long time, and he is frustrated that they won't give him the time of day despite his efforts. He reminisces on past situations where he may have put pressure on them before and understands why they may be hesitant to listen to him. The man has a moment of realization that he can't keep pushing and asking for them to come to him, and decides to wait patiently for them to show up on their own accord.


Throughout the song, the man references the moon, stars, wind, and sky, bearing witness to his solitude and longing. He recognizes that sometimes, it is easier for a man to grow up rather than grow out, and standing still can feel more comfortable than moving forward. The last verse shows the man coming to terms with the fact that he cannot force his loved one to be with him, but that he will patiently wait until the time is right. He pleads with the person to communicate with him and show him that they will be right on his time.


Overall, Right At The Time is a heartfelt and emotional song about waiting for someone you love to come around, even if it takes a long time. It speaks to the difficulties of being patient in a relationship and the pain of not being able to communicate with someone you care about deeply.
