Don't Wait
Andy Fairweather Low w/ Eric Clapton Lyrics

Don't wait
Take action now without hesitation.

Don't wait
Emphasizing the importance of taking action immediately.

Don't wait for the good times to come
There are no good times except in the present, so don’t wait for a better tomorrow.

We got 'em right here, we're on the run
We already have enough to be happy, just keep moving on.

Don't wait
Repeats the message of the first and second line.

Don't wait
Conveys the importance of not delaying in taking action.

I'm going back
I'm time travelling.

I'm going back
I'll take it back as it was.

Going way back, back in time
Going back to the past.

Another place, another mind
In the past, I had a different way of thinking.

I'm going back
Repeats the message of the seventh and eighth line.

I'm going back
Reflects the singer’s desire to live in the past.

Walk on
Remain steadfast, keep walking forward.

Walk on
Don’t stand still or look back, keep going ahead.

Walk on straight ahead
Don’t stray from the right path, stay focused.

Don't look around, don't turn your head
Avoid distractions, and stay focused on your goal.

Walk on
Emphasizes the message of the thirteenth and fourteenth line.

Walk on
Continuously move forward, even after setbacks.

Fly away
Escape from the past and start anew.

Fly away
Leave behind current problems and find freedom.

Fly away, away with me
Join me in a new life of freedom.

I never been so flying free
I have never felt so free before.

Fly away
Supports the theme of starting over with a clean slate.

Fly away
Repeats the message of the nineteenth and twentieth line.

Bye bye
Goodbye.

Bye bye
Expresses sadness and the pain of separating from someone.

Please don't ever say
Don’t ever create a situation where we need to say bye-bye.

You're leaving me, you're going away
The singer is sad and hurt because someone he loves is leaving.

Bye bye
Echoes the message of the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh line.

Bye bye
Accepting the inevitability of leaving.
