Time
Chase & Status Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can find the time
To give your love to me
I will wait for you
If that's all you need (Time, time)
If you can find the time (Time, time)
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere.
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you.
But if you can't find the time (Time, time, time)
Then cut me loose.

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

If you can find the time
To give your love to me
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time,
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll, I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose.

'Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for
Why must I wait
'Cause while you decide
I'm fucking suffocating
'Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it
My bleeding heart won't make it

'Cause I don't have the time
'Cause I don't have the time





My bleeding heart won't make it
