The High Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With what went wrong
with our song
or did you know it all?
ct the end of every hard day
I take the Pulaski Skyway
It was you who taught me to
cnd each time I save eighty five cents
buys a memory
Every time I see your face
I am gone without a trace
Out of mind and lost in space
Every time I see your face
I cry
Yeah I remember how it was
but just because we're down
doesn't mean we're out
You can't tell me without a doubt
Things can't turn around
Every time I see your face
I am gone without a trace
Out of mind and lost in space
Every time I see your face
I cry
cnd then I wonder why
What am I to do
I'm still waiting for you
waiting for you, waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Every time I see your face
I am gone without a trace
Out of mind and lost in space
Every time I see your face
I cry
The lyrics of The High's song "Take Your Time" convey a sense of longing, regret, and hope. The opening lines, "No need to bother / With what went wrong / with our song / or did you know it all?" suggest that the relationship has ended and the singer is questioning whether the other person was aware of the issues that led to the breakup. It reflects a sense of frustration and possibly a desire for closure.
The mention of the Pulaski Skyway and the reference to avoiding tolls symbolize the singer's attempt to move on from the past. The act of taking a different route, both physically and metaphorically, signifies a desire to detach from the memories associated with the person they are addressing. The mention of saving money each time indicates that the singer is actively making efforts to create new memories and experiences.
The repetition of the lines "Every time I see your face / I am gone without a trace / Out of mind and lost in space / Every time I see your face / I cry" highlights the intense emotional impact that seeing the person has on the singer. It suggests that despite their best efforts to move on, the presence of the other person still has the power to deeply affect them. The crying represents the pain and vulnerability experienced when confronted with the past.
The lyrics also express a glimmer of hope. The lines "Yeah I remember how it was / but just because we're down / doesn't mean we're out / You can't tell me without a doubt / Things can't turn around" convey a belief that despite the current difficult situation, there is still a possibility for things to change and improve. It reflects the perseverance of the singer, who refuses to accept a permanent state of despair.
Overall, "Take Your Time" explores the complexities of moving on from a failed relationship. It portrays the conflicting emotions of longing, regret, and hope, ultimately emphasizing the importance of personal growth and resilience in overcoming heartbreak.
