It's Time
Sydney and Shelby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I almost found the words to make you go
This time I almost made it almost pushed you away
But my heart cried out begging you to stay
Now I'm laying here beside you crying softly
Cause I know you're going home to her
Cause you belong to her and you go home to her
That you'll come back again
And I'll keep wondering will I be here till then
Oh so I'll tell the morning sun that maybe
I can find someone that I can love as much
Or maybe half as much to live without your touch
This time I almost made it this time I almost made it
The lyrics of "It's Time" by Sydney and Shelby is a ballad that tells a story of a woman who is deeply in love with a man who belongs to someone else but keeps coming back to her. The woman confesses that she almost told him to leave, to push him away, but her heart wouldn't let her. She's resigned to the fact that he'll always return to the woman he loves, leaving her in tears. She's holding onto hope that maybe she'll find someone else to love, but deep down, she knows it won't be the same. The chorus is a repetition of how she almost made it but didn't, indicating the struggle between her head and heart.
This song is an emotional portrayal of an unresolved love triangle. The woman is deeply in love with the man but is stuck in a situation where she cannot have him entirely, and he keeps coming back despite not being fully hers. The lyrics are relatable for anyone who's been in love with someone already taken, hoping that one day, maybe things will change. The lyrics convey the emotions of despair and heartbreak, while the melody and vocal delivery by Sydney and Shelby complement the mood of the song hauntingly.
