Space
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under pressure (pressure)
Questions all around, but there's no answers (answers)
Try to keep my pace, they want it faster (faster)
Records all around, they give me shelter, shelter (shelter, shelter)

No need to hurry, no need to rush
I tell them my story, it's never enough!
(It's never enough!)

I'm hiding from my shadows
Running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom
I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me

So gimme a little, gimme a little, (ah) a little more space
Just gimme a little, gimme a little (ah more)

Satisfaction (satisfaction)
All we ever want, but I can't have it (have it)
Scribbles on the page, they call it magic (magic)
Makes me wanna be what you imagine, imagine, ah

No need to hurry (no need to hurry), no need to rush (no need to rush)
I tell them my story, it's never enough!
(It's never enough!)

I'm hiding from my shadows
Running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom
I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me

(When the eyes are all around)
Gimme, gimme, gimme space
(Keep it low, don't make a sound)
Gimme, gimme, gimme space
(When the eyes are all around)
Gimme, gimme, gimme space
(Keep it low, don't make a sound)
Gimme, gimme, gimme space
Space!

I'm hiding from my shadows
Running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom
I need some room to breathe
(Gimme some room to breathe)
But I know that you are watching
You're right there watching me
(Uh no, no!)

(When the eyes are all around)
I'm hiding from my shadows
(Gimme, gimme, gimme space)
Keep it low, don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching)
(Gimme, gimme, gimme space)
(I need a taste of freedom)
When the eyes are all around
(Gimme some room so breathe)
(Gimme, gimme, gimme space)
Keep it low don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching, watching me)
(Gimme, gimme, gimme space)

(Just gimme a little, gimme little, (ah) a little more space)
(Just gimme a little, gimme little, (ah) a little more space)
Just give me some space
(Just gimme a little, gimme little, a little more space)
Just give me some space
(A little more)




(Just gimme a little, gimme little)
Just give me some space, baby

Overall Meaning

In Sabrina Carpenter's song "Space," the lyrics touch on the pressure and expectations that come with being in the public eye. The opening lines set the stage for the theme, with the singer feeling like there are endless questions being asked, but no clear answers. She's trying to move at her own pace, but feels like everyone is pushing her to go faster. The "records all around" could refer to record labels or the media, but whoever it is, they provide her with shelter amid the chaos. Despite this, the pressure is still overwhelming.


The chorus is a plea for space and freedom. The singer just wants room to breathe and be herself, but feels like all eyes are on her, watching and waiting for her to slip up. She's hiding from her own shadow and running in her dreams because that's the only place where she can escape the scrutiny. The line "Satisfaction, all we ever want, but I can't have it" highlights the conflict she feels between wanting to please others and staying true to herself. She feels like she's constantly having to live up to other people's expectations, and it's taking a toll on her.


The bridge of the song repeats the plea for space and freedom, but adds a sense of desperation. She needs more room to breathe and escape the pressure, but feels like she's stuck in a cycle of trying to please others. Overall, "Space" is a heartfelt song about the struggles of living a public life and the need for privacy and autonomy.

"Space"

Under pressure
Questions all around, but there's no answers
Try to keep my pace, they want it faster
Records all around they keep me sheltered, sheltered

No need to hurry, no need to rush
I tell them my story, it's never enough
It's never enough

I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
Just give me a little, give me a little

Satisfaction
All we ever want, but I can't have it
Scribbles on the page, they call it magic
Makes me wanna be what you imagine, imagine

No need to hurry, no need to rush
I tell them my story, it's never enough
It's never enough

I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

When their eyes are all around
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
Give me, give me, give me space
When their eyes are all around
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
Give me, give me, give me space (space)

I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
(Give me some room to breathe)
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

When their eyes are all around
(I'm hiding from my shadows)
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching)
Give me, give me, give me space
(I need a taste of freedom)
When their eyes are all around
(Give me some room to breathe)
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching, watching me)
Give me, give me, give me space

Just give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(Just give me some space)
Just give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(Just give me some space)
Just give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(A little more)
Just give me a little, give me a little
Just give me some space baby

Under pressure, under pressure
Questions all around, but there's no answers
Try to keep my pace, they want it faster
Records all around they keep me sheltered, sheltered

No need to hurry, no need to rush
I tell them my story, it's never enough
It's never enough
I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
So give me a little, give me a little

Satisfaction, all we ever want, but I can't have it
It's real words on the page, they call it magic
Makes me wanna be what you imagine, imagine

No need to hurry, no need to rush
I tell them my story, it's never enough
It's never enough

I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

When their eyes are all around
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
Give me, give me, give me space
When their eyes are all around
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
Give me, give me, give me space

I'm hiding from my shadows, running inside my dreams
I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me
I need a taste of freedom, I need some room to breathe
(Give me some room to breathe)
But I know that you are watching, you're right there watching me

When their eyes are all around
(I'm hiding from my shadows)
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching)
Give me, give me, give me space
(I need a taste of freedom)
When their eyes are all around
(Give me some room so breathe)
Give me, give me, give me space
Keep it low, don't make a sound
(I know that you are watching, watching me)
Give me, give me, give me space

So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(Just give me some space)
So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(Just give me some space)
So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(A little more space)
So give me a little, give me a little, a little more space
(Just give me some space baby)
