My Time
Royal Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't come here for the fame or the glory
I wasn't in it for the gold
Don't wanna wait 'til the end of the story
To find my body lying cold

Waking up to the now or the never
Feel the walls closing in
I see the wolves, now they're circling around me
But I am hungrier than them

Yeah I am hungrier than them

It's the end of the line
I don't get another try
This is live or die
This is my time

This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time

Just when everyone was saying it was over
That I never stood a chance
They didn't know that they were always starting fire
And bringing life back to these hands

They're 'bout to learn that they should never try to cage me
Cause when my back's against the wall
I know that I'm the only one that'd ever save me
And I can never lose it all

No I can never lose it all

It's the end of the line
I don't get another try
This is live or die
This is my time

This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time

This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time

It's the end of the line
(It's the end of the line)
I don't get another try
(I don't get another try)
This is live or die
(This is live or die)
This is my time

This is my time
(It's the end of the line)
This is my time
(I don't get another try)
This is my time




(This is live or die)
This is my time

They didn’t know that they were only starting fire and bringing life back to these hands
They’re bout to learn that they should never try to cage me, cuz when my backs against the wall
