Out Of Time
Yuck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I hold a mirror up to your eyes
Speak the way you can understand what's inside
You have been broken down in a thousand different ways
I've been looking over pictures and you hardly looked the same
I can see it from a mile that the way you smile is changed
But you don't know
It is hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick
When all I wanna do is try

Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down girl
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck
All of this pain spread all over your face
All I want to do is help you out of this place
Only you
So hurry up now just before you run out of time
Before you run out of time

Beautiful that's the only way I see you
Nobody else can love you in the way that I do
Sometimes I get worried that you are taking up too much
And this crazy world where we live in doesn't really give a fuck
If only we could paddle to a place when it was just you and I
It is hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick when all I wanna do is try

Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down girl
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck
All of this pain spread all over your face
All I want to do is help you out of this place
Only you
So hurry up now just before you run out of time
Before you run out of time
You can run out of time

Lalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalala
(You can run out of time)
Lalalala Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down girl
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck x2

All of this pain spread all over your face
All I want to do is help you out of this place
Only you
So hurry up now just before you run out of time





Before you run out of time
Before you run out of time

Overall Meaning

The song Out Of Time, by Yuck, is a moving plea to a loved one who is going through a tough time. The verses describe the singer's struggle to communicate with the person he cares about; he wants to help, but he can't seem to get through to her. He's noticed that she's changed, and he can see that she's suffering, but he doesn't know how to make things better. He's worried that she's running out of time, and he's urging her to take action before it's too late.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Only you" several times, emphasizing the idea that the person he's singing to is the only one who can change her situation. He believes that she has the strength to "dig herself out" of her problems and "lift herself up" before she gets "stuck." He acknowledges that there's a lot of pain in her life, but he wants to be there for her and help her "out of this place."


Overall, the song conveys a sense of urgency and desperation; it's clear that the singer is deeply concerned about the person he's addressing, and he wants to do everything he can to save her from her pain.
