Space
Tk Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can love you better
I know I been slacking
But I know I can love you better
Sometimes I just wanna say fuck you
But I can't right now 'cause I fuck with you
When time fly by shit change
Time out, I just need a break
Ride out, I'm going all the way
Time up, don't call my phone today
I'm going all the way and I just need a break (TK Kravitz)
I know, that I can do better
My loyalty with you is forever
I suppose, that you should know that baby
'Cause you the one that got me going crazy
Yeah, stop acting like it's okay
When you know these niggas fugazy
'Cause I'm the realest one you deal with
I just had to tell you real shit
Sometimes I just wanna say fuck you
But I can't right now 'cause I fuck with you
When time fly by shit change
But right now feeling like I need space
Time out, I just need a break
Ride out, I'm going all the way
Time up, don't call my phone today
I'm going all the way and I just need a break
Baby I can't even lie to you
My phone's been blowing up like Samsung 7
And I'm trying to stay committed to you
I'm like a foreign whip, they wanna test drive
And you're the one I pick to keep this love alive
You're been dipping and diving in things
And I been switching and sliding in things
'Cause I'm about sit around and watch you do it
TK trying to fly away like Lenny Kravitz
Sometimes I just wanna say fuck you
But I can't right now 'cause I fuck with you
When time fly by shit change
But right now feeling like I need space
Time out, I just need a break
Ride out, I'm going all the way
Time up, don't call my phone today
I'm going all the way and I just need a break
The song "Space" by TK Kravitz is a heart-wrenching confession by a man who knows he has been neglecting his partner but promises to do better. In the song, he admits to having moments where he wants to say "fuck you," but he cannot bring himself to say it because he still cares for her. He acknowledges that relationships change over time, but his need for space is not a reflection on her worth. The singer wants to take a break from the relationship to clear his head and come back with a better mindset. He assures his partner that his loyalty is with her, and he is not interested in anyone else.
The song explores the reality of relationships and how time can change them. Sometimes, people need to take a break, not because they want to get away from the other person, but because they need to get themselves together. The lyrics capture the pain of a man who feels like he has let his partner down but wants to do better. The chorus "Time out, I just need a break. Ride out, I'm going all the way. Time up, don't call my phone today, I'm going all the way, and I just need a break," is a plea for understanding and space.
Overall, "Space" is a song that speaks directly to the heart. It is a song about the complexities of relationships and how sometimes, love is not enough. It is a song about the choices we make and the consequences that follow.
