Sooner or Later
Bliss 66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the mess I made when the colors fade
So pick me up before I hit the ground
It's not enough to realize
When you close your eyes and it's no surprise
So shut me up before I make a sound
And I even see your face when you're not around
Yeah, I know you'll always be there when I come down
Down, down, down, down
[Chorus:]
Sooner or later
I think you're gonna find out
That we should be together now
Sooner or later
I know we're gonna find out
It might as well be right now
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
It's not enough to play the game
Gotta take the blame for the mess I made
So pick me up before you bring me down
It's not enough to compromise
If you change your mind and you fall behind
So shut me up before you shut me out
I know you'll always be there when I come down
And I even see your face when you're not around
I know you'll always be there when I come down
Down, down, down, down
[Chorus:]
I think it's time you understand
I'm just a man, that's all I am
Before our situation's out of hand
I think you need to comprehend
It's got to end so let's pretend
I always give you everything I can
It's not enough to say o.k.
If the love you take is the heart you break
Don't shut me off, don't throw it all away
[Chorus:]
Sooner or later you'll be mine, you'll be
Sooner or later you'll be mine, you'll be
Sooner or later you'll be mine, you'll be mine
Sooner or later
Sooner or later you'll be mine...
