Our Time Lyrics

I may be dead, honey
But I was left with my eyes
And underneath, sugar
Well, I was sunk by your lies
And my heart, baby
Is cold and blue
We're two of a kind lately
Me and you

It's our time, sweet babe
To break on through
It's the year to be hated
So glad that we made it
Because all the kids in the street
Whisper sounds so sweet
The stars under their feet
Well, it's the year to be hated

It's our time (our time)
Our time (our time)
It's our time (our time)
Our time to be hated, all right
To be hated, uh-huh

C'mon kids
It's our time (our time)
Our time (our time)
Our time (our time)
Our time to be hated, all right

Well, it's the year to be hated
So glad that we made it
Because all the kids in the street
Whisper sounds that sweet
The stars under their feet

Well, it's the year to be hated, all right
It's the year to be hated, uh-huh
It's the year to be hated
It's the year to be hated

Cover art for Our Time lyrics by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

i think this song is about a couple who had a lot of problems and really hurt each other and everyone was saying that they would fail and interfering but they got through it all, to the suprise and disgust of some people, and it is their time to show one another how their love no matter what people say

maybe i am wrong but thats how i see it....

I always thought the lyrics was:

So glad that we made it Because all the kids in the street whisper sounds that sweep the stars under their feet

I always thought that the song was a love song, from one person who's been through a hard time to another person who has. In my mind they'd managed to overcome their adversity through each other's love, and now it's like the dawn of a new day. The kids in the street are those people who haven't had to suffer so much, who make everything look easy. They can ride along through life without having to think anything dark, and so it's as if they're walking on the stars. The person singing the song is basically saying "thank god that chapter of our lives is over..we still have each other, and now we can go back out in the street and walk amongst the stars like all the other kids..like we should have been able to do all along".
