Time Goes By
Carrie Skipper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found your home somewhere
Now you've reached the end
The game seems so unkind
When this moment ends
You'll look back to see
The love you left behind

The closer the feeling
The more you recognise
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
(I always remember)

No more holding on
To a fading memory
Of how things used to be
Life will carry on
Love will always be your guide
If you just set me free

The closer the feeling
The more you recognize
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
You looked and me and said

Time goes by
From the point of no return
You've gotta be strong enough to learn
Time goes by




The love you leave behind
Builds a temple in your mind

4:55 cuts through bone and marrow and then the buildup at 5:22. This track is pure perfection, trance doesn't get any better then this.
