Attics of My Life
T Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day of my life I'll be in love with you
Every day of my life I promise I'll be true
I'll never make you cry, and as the years go by
I'll always try to do what pleases you

Every day of my life I'll need you close to me
And if I have my way that's where you'll always be
I'll prove how much I love you over and over again
Every moment I live, every day of my life

Every day of my life (every day of my life), I'll need you close to me
And if I have my way (and if I have my way), that's where you'll always be




I'll prove how much I love you over and over again
Every moment I live, everyday of my life (ah ah ah ah)

Overall Meaning

The first verse of T Sisters’ song “Attics of My Life” speaks to a sense of empowerment and autonomy that the singer has embraced. The verse begins with a call to confrontation: “Now’s the time / To lay it on the line, boy / You better believe it.” The singer’s wording here has a clear challenge to it, an invitation to the one being addressed to either recognize the importance of what’s about to be said, or face the consequences of ignoring it. The singer then references a past opportunity for the other person to join in the joys of life, but notes that they “blew it.” The person in question had tried to tell the singer how to “run [their] life,” but this didn’t work. Instead, the singer insists that the person just “sit down and think it over” - the implication being that they might be able to join in the singer’s life if they can see beyond their own expectations.


Line by Line Meaning

Now's the time
This is the moment to be honest


To lay it on the line, boy
To tell the truth, my friend


You better believe it
It's the reality, you have to accept it


You had your chance
You had an opportunity


To break it down and dance
To enjoy life


But you blew it
But you wasted it


By trying to tell me how to
By attempting to control


Run my life
Manage my own fate


Look at me
Observe me


Just sit down and think it over
Just take a moment to ponder


Can't you see
Don't you realize


That I wasn't born yesterday
That I'm not naive or foolish


Working girl
A woman who earns her living


In a world full of confusion
In a chaotic world


Far too cool
Much too composed


To be taken for a fool
To be tricked or deceived


This is my life
This is my existence


And I'm livin' like I'm walkin'
And I'm living with a free spirit


Crazy high life
An adventurous and exciting lifestyle


So you better learn how to play
So you need to adjust to this lifestyle


Doin' that fast life
Living that high-paced lifestyle


Got you going 'round in circles
Made you feel confused


This is my life
This is who I am


And I'm calling all the shots this time
And I'm in charge this time


Boys like you
Guys like you


I know the way you do
I know your strategies


Waiting something for nothing
Expecting something without doing anything


All talk, no work
All words, no action


Go ahead and do the jerk
Go ahead and act foolish


'Cause you blew it
Because you ruined it


You'll never hold me with your gangster love
Your aggressive attitude won't impress me


Look at me
Pay attention to me


It should be so elementary
It should be straightforward


Can't you see
Don't you perceive


You know that I'm no stranger to the street
You know that I'm street-smart


Mama said
My mother told me


In a world full of confusion
In a chaotic world


Take control
Be in charge


You were never born to lose
You were never meant to fail

Beautifully done. Would’ve liked to hear the prolonged AH at the end tho. With that beautiful harmony it would’ve been stunning.
