The ARE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She takes it deep to the heart right from the start she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how is that a crime?

Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.

Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you never really let her know.

And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?

Well I've been through these phases, I've walked through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed her I wouldn't be out the door
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't that what she's for?

And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.




Why can't we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The ARE's song [untitled] depict a complex relationship between the singer and a woman he is involved with. From the beginning, it is clear that the woman holds a special place in his heart, as indicated by her ability to deeply affect him and their intimate conversations over a glass of wine. However, their relationship seems to be plagued by ambiguity and unrequited feelings. The singer yearns for her to dedicate even a minute of her time to him, suggesting a lack of attention or commitment on her part. Despite giving it some time, the singer expresses frustration at not having his feelings reciprocated, implying that he does not want to waste his time in a one-sided relationship.


As the lyrics progress, the singer decides to make a break for it while she is still talking, looking for an exit sign and leaving no trace. The reference to not leaving a trace suggests a desire to move on without any lingering attachments. The singer contemplates leaving because of the sinking feeling in his heart and the realization that they do not communicate their true feelings to each other. The lyrics also touch upon the perception that she may treat him poorly, but he never confronts her about it. This highlights the lack of communication and emotional honesty in their relationship.


The chorus expresses the singer's understanding of loneliness and the comfort of being at home. Despite this, he desires some level of interaction, whether it's stopping to say hello or taking things slow. In the concluding verses, the singer reflects on his journey through different phases and mazes, feeling both sick and tired. He acknowledges that it isn't fair, but he lacks the patience needed to navigate the complexities of the relationship. The singer wishes he had taken the opportunity to show affection more often, which may have prevented his decision to leave. The song ends with a sense of longing, with the singer unable to forget the effects of their shared experiences and the pain she endured. Despite all of this, he still insists on needing some time for himself and the need for the relationship to slow down.
