Where Does The Time Go
Rich Brian [feat. Joji] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't do what you ask of me
I'm too scared to be afraid
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark hiding out from the sun

All the things that I tell myself
Make it sound worse than how it really goes
When I've cancelled Uber so many times
That I made apology videos
I'm in this shit for eternities
Lil' bitch, what are you in it for?
Just stand right by the spotlight
'Cause I know you wanna be in it more
I pull up in a red Corvette
Better get suit up, ready for more sex
Lookin' at toilet, that's what you're full of
It ain't no contest, but you're still losing
2017, all those memories remind me to fuck my enemies
You not that important for me to waste more of my good energies

I cannot fuck with these hoes
They don't care about me

I can't do what you ask of me (nah, I can't)
I'm too scared to be afraid (I'm fucking terrified)
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun

Part of me wants to be better
Just like all my heroes that I never met
But I think I'll just settle now
Settle now, yeah
And part of me wants to be good
But part of me wants to go outside and
Fuck these hoes, hahaha, these silly hoes
'Cause it's after midnight
And you're standing there in the spotlight
Watchin' your body kill all my dreams
'Cause I'm staying home when I should be free
Where does the time go when you're fucking me?
Oh, where does the time go when you're fucking me?
Oh, where does the time go?
(Can you find me in love?)
(Can you find me in love?)

Ooh, I cannot fuck with these hoes
they don't care about me

You can't be what you're not bein'
You can't see what you can't see
If you need somethin' to believe in
You can come believe in me

So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
(So catch me if you can)




(So catch me if you can)
(So catch me if you can)

Line by Line Meaning

I can't do what you ask of me
I am unable to do what you expect from me


I'm too scared to be afraid
I am fearful of even experiencing fear


Afraid of what I have become
Frightened of my current state of being


A statue alone in the dark hiding out from the sun
I am motionless in the darkness, avoiding the light


All the things that I tell myself
The thoughts I subject myself to


Make it sound worse than how it really goes
I tend to exaggerate my problems


When I've cancelled Uber so many times
I've called off my Uber rides frequently


That I made apology videos
Apologies to the people affected by my cancellations were necessary


I'm in this shit for eternities
This situation seems to be never-ending


Lil' bitch, what are you in it for?
What is your reason for being here?


Just stand right by the spotlight
Be close to the spotlight if you want to seem important


'Cause I know you wanna be in it more
I am aware that you crave more attention


I pull up in a red Corvette
I arrive in a flashy red car


Better get suit up, ready for more sex
Be prepared to engage in sexual activity


Lookin' at toilet, that's what you're full of
You are full of crap


It ain't no contest, but you're still losing
This is not a competition, but you are still failing


2017, all those memories remind me to fuck my enemies
I have unpleasant memories from 2017 that motivate me to get back at those who have wronged me


You not that important for me to waste more of my good energies
You are not significant enough for me to exert more effort on you


I cannot fuck with these hoes
I cannot deal with these shallow and uninterested women


They don't care about me
These women are not concerned with my well-being


Part of me wants to be better
A portion of me desires to improve


Just like all my heroes that I never met
Just like the people I look up to but have never met


But I think I'll just settle now
I'm content with where I am now


And part of me wants to be good
Another part of me hopes to be virtuous


But part of me wants to go outside
But another part of me desires to indulge in casual sex


Fuck these hoes, hahaha, these silly hoes
I want to engage in sexual activity with these women, who I find laughable


'Cause it's after midnight
It's late at night


And you're standing there in the spotlight
You are basking in the attention


Watchin' your body kill all my dreams
Your appearance is discouraging me from achieving my aspirations


'Cause I'm staying home when I should be free
I'm being held back by my responsibilities when I should be living freely


Where does the time go when you're fucking me?
I am losing track of time when engaging in sexual activity


Oh, where does the time go when you're fucking me?
I am curious about how time passes when engaging in sex


Can you find me in love?
Is it possible for me to experience love?


Ooh, I cannot fuck with these hoes
I cannot deal with these shallow and uninterested women


They don't care about me
These women are not concerned with my well-being


You can't be what you're not bein'
You cannot pretend to be something you're not


You can't see what you can't see
You cannot perceive what is beyond your field of view


If you need somethin' to believe in
If you require something to have faith in


You can come believe in me
You can have faith in me


So catch me if you can
Try and keep up with me

(Try and keep up with me)


(So catch me if you can)
(Try and keep up with me)

[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon]
I can't do what you ask of me
I’m too scared to be afraid
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun

[Verse 1: Rich Brian & Joji]
All the things that I tell myself
Make it sound worse than how it really goes
When I've cancelled Ubers so many times
That I made apology videos
I'm in this shit for eternities
Lil’ bitch, what are you in it for?
Just stand right by the spotlight
'Cause I know you wanna be in it more
I pull up in a red Corvette
'Bout to get suit up, ready for more sex
Look in that toilet, that's what you're full of
It ain't no contest, but you're still losin'
2017, all those memories
Remind me to fuck my enemies
You not that important for me
To waste more of my good energies

[Refrain: Rich Brian]
I cannot fuck with these hoes
They don’t care about me


[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon, Rich Brian]
I can’t do what you ask of me (Nah, I can't)
I’m too scared to be afraid (I'm fucking terrified)
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun

[Verse 2: Rich Brian]
Part of me wants to be better
Just like all my heroes that I never met
But I think I'll just settle now
Settle now, yeah
And part of me wants to be good
But part of me wants to go outside and fuck these hoes (Heh-heh)
These silly hoes
'Cause it’s after midnight
And you're standin' there in the spotlight
Watchin' your body kill all my dreams
'Cause I'm stayin' home when I should be free
Where does the time go when you're fuckin' me?
Oh, where does the time go when you're fuckin' me?
Oh, where does the time go?

[Bridge: Joji]
Can you find me here in love?
Can you find me here in love?

[Refrain: Rich Brian]
Ooh, I cannot fuck with these hoes
They don't care about me

[Outro: Joji]
You can't be what you're not bein'
You can't see what you can't see
If you need somethin' to believe in
You can go believe in me
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can
