Time & Confusion
Anberlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah oh yeah oh
Oh yeah oh yeah oh

Live for today, we'll dream tomorrow
We've got big plans in sight
We'll take this city and by nightfall
The bright lights are calling

Everything is going our way
Everything is just as we've planned
This is our future, from what we've heard
And I've still got your hand

And it feels like we could last forever
And I'm not doing this alone

When memories fade we've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways we've got each other
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold you

Oh yeah oh yeah oh

We fell on hard times, this isn't the ideal
With miles from home, doing the best that we can
I won't do this without you
I won't do this without you so take heart
'Cause you know that you have mine

And it feels like we could last forever
And I'm not doing this alone

When memories fade we've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways we've got each other
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold

It's not about the money we make
It's about the passions that we ache for
What makes your heart beat faster
Tell me now what does your body long after

I don't care now where we live
It's not where or what or who we were with
I just need you in my life
So promise me again

When memories fade we've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways we've got each other
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold you

Oh yeah oh yeah oh
Oh yeah oh yeah oh
