Take My Time
Sheer.K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I've come a long way
My heart's had it in the right place
But sometimes I pass hard to face
And I know you

[Chorus]
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you

Slept the highlands and waves
I wondered if I could be soft
But I have emerged scathed
Because I know you

[Chorus]

Before I knew you
Before I could see
That you could take all my troubles from me
Before I knew you
I was so cold

[Chorus: x2]





I wasn't complete

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sheer.K's song "In This Life" convey a sense of growth and transformation in the singer's life. The opening lines, "I know that I've come a long way, my heart's had it in the right place" suggest that the singer has made progress and is proud of their accomplishments. However, the following lines, "But sometimes I pass hard to face, and I know you" show that they still struggle with certain aspects of their life, but they have someone who supports them.


The chorus repeats the phrase "There was another time in my life, before I knew you" to suggest that their life has changed since meeting this person, perhaps for the better.

Despite the challenges, the person they met helped them overcome their troubles and made them feel complete.


Overall, the song is about finding someone who makes a positive impact on one's life and helps them overcome their struggles.
