timing is everything
Our Last Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're going home, going home
And there's nowhere to go but home
There's nowhere to go
Timing is everything we need
It is the only thing that's keeping us from leaving
We'll be there soon
We'll be there soon
Our wheels are stuck in the mud
Our wheels are stuck in the mud
And with the storm rolling in,
It looks like this could be the end
It looks like this could be the end
There's a gaping hole, it's so big
The pressure in my chest, the pressure in my chest
It won't let go, it won't let go
There's a gaping hole, it's so big
Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me, we'll be there, we'll be there soon
Timing is everything we need
It is the only thing that's keeping us from leaving
And we promise to never, to never write
Instead of selling my soul, I'm giving it away
Instead of selling my soul, I'm giving it away
Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me, we'll be there, we'll be there soon
I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing
Keep your hands on my chest and wait for a beat
I'll keep your trust in my arms and pain in my feet
I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing
I'm breathing,
God I hope I'm breathing
Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
Make me believe
And give me a taste of what this could be
Make me believe
And trust me we'll be there soon
"Our Last Night's" song "Timing is Everything" is a powerful ballad about hope in the face of adversity. The opening lines "The key's in the ignition, we're going home, going home, and there's nowhere to go but home," set the tone for the song's theme of wanting to find a way back to safety and comfort. The repeated lines "Timing is everything we need, it is the only thing that's keeping us from leaving," serves as a reminder that sometimes all we need is patience and the right timing to make our way through difficult situations.
The lyrics touch on the fear that things may not go as planned, "our wheels are stuck in the mud, and with the storm rolling in, it looks like this could be the end." The gaping hole in the singer's chest symbolizes the pain and uncertainty of not knowing what the future holds. However, the song is ultimately about the power of believing and trusting that things will work out in the end, "Make me believe, and trust me we'll be there soon."
