Yet
Duncan Laurence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your corner′s the streets that I passed by
Your heart beats a million miles away
But I feel you with me now
So please don't fade
Somewhere, some way
I've got my whole heart to give
What can I hold on to
If I haven't met you?
All of our memories ahead
So many good times left
But what can I hold on to
If I haven′t met you yet?
Imagine the sunset in July
We′ll dance like the waves on the coastline
Imagine a dream where you don't wake
Can you make it all slow down?
We′ll find our way
Somehow, someday
We've got a lifetime to live
I′ve got my whole heart to give
What can I hold on to
If I haven't met you?
All of our memories ahead
So many good times left
But what can I hold on to
If I haven′t met you?
Nothing seems real without you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Like I can't feel until I found you
We've got a lifetime to live
I′ve got my whole heart to give
What can I hold on to
If I haven′t met you?
All of our memories ahead
So many good times left
But what can I hold on to
If I haven't met you yet?
The song "Yet" by Duncan Laurence talks about the optimism and excitement one feels when they know they're meant to find that special someone. In the first verse, the singer describes how he found this person in the midst of the city lights, and though they may be physically distant, he feels that they're always with him. He desperately wants to hold onto this feeling, no matter what may happen. He goes on to talk about the future they will have together, imagining dancing at sunset on the beach and experiencing all the good times they have planned.
The chorus repeats the idea that they have their whole lives ahead of them, and though they may not have met yet, they have hope for a bright future. The bridge further emphasizes this, as the singer compares the feeling of not having met this person yet to feeling like nothing seems real-- implying that this person is the missing piece that will make everything fall into place.
Line by Line Meaning
I found you in flares of city lights
Amidst the bright lights of the city, I came across you
And your corner′s the streets that I passed by
The streets where I used to roam around, I found you there
Your heart beats a million miles away
Although you are far away from me, your heart and soul are still close to me
But I feel you with me now
I have a sense of your presence around me, right now
So please don't fade
I fear losing you and thus, I plead you not to go away
Somewhere, some way
Though not knowing how and where, I am hopeful that we'll find a way to be together
We've got a lifetime to live
We have all the time in the world to cherish and enjoy our life together
I've got my whole heart to give
My love for you is boundless and unconditional
What can I hold on to
In the wait for you, what should I hold on to?
If I haven't met you?
Since we haven't met yet, what should I keep myself grounded with?
All of our memories ahead
There are so many beautiful memories slated for us in the future
So many good times left
Our journey ahead is filled with innumerable happy moments
But what can I hold on to
But in your absence, what should I hold onto?
If I haven't met you yet?
Since I haven't met you yet, what should I keep myself anchored with?
Imagine the sunset in July
Let's imagine the beautiful sunset in the month of July
We'll dance like the waves on the coastline
We'll sway with the rhythm of the waves at the seashore
Imagine a dream where you don't wake
Let's imagine a dream where we can linger on forever without having to wake up
Can you make it all slow down?
Can you make time stop for us and let us enjoy this moment for a little while longer?
We'll find our way
We'll discover our path to each other
Somehow, someday
Somehow, we'll find a way to be with each other someday
Nothing seems real without you
Without you, nothing seems genuine to me
Like I can't feel until I found you
It felt like I wasn't able to feel anything till I discovered you

I love you, but I don't know you yet. You might be there, somewhere in this world, but I don't know where to find you. Meanwhile I will wait, I will live my life and think of you, knowing one day I will find you. All of our memories ahead, so many good times left, but what can I hold onto, if haven't met you.... yet.
