Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A second that was mine is now in the past
I've been tryin' to hide all that you left behind
I'm protected by hope that one day you'll be back
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time
Every word that you said is still alive inside my head
The footprints of your eyes were deep in my mind
I want to move on but history is hard in me still
I'm trapped in the loop still I give us a chance
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time

The opening lyrics, "A week or a day since you took your touch away, a second that was mine is now in the past" convey a sense of loss and desperation. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that their loved one is no longer with them, and they are desperately holding onto the hope that they will come back.

The singer states that they are "waiting for [their] heart to find a moment that is mine," and they are "counting on time to bring your love back to me." At the same time, they are also afraid of time passing them by, and missing out on the chance to be with the person they love. The line "Don't let it pass you by, it's time" is a call to action for the singer to take control of their life, and not let time slip away from them.
Overall, Ferry Corsten's "It's Time" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles of love and loss. It conveys a message of hope, but also of caution, urging listeners to take action and not let love slip away.

A week or a day since you took your touch away
It has been a short period of time since you left me
A second that was mine is now in the past
Even the smallest moment I shared with you is gone
I've been tryin' to hide all that you left behind
I am struggling to conceal the memories and feelings you left inside me
I'm protected by hope that one day you'll be back
I hold onto the hope that someday you will return to me
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I am passing my days waiting for you to notice me and reconnect
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
I believe that given time, your love for me will return
Don't let it pass you by
Do not let this opportunity to reconnect slip away
Every word that you said is still alive inside my head
I cannot forget any of the things you have said to me
The footprints of your eyes were deep in my mind
I am haunted by the image of your eyes, and the memory of you
I want to move on but history is hard in me still
I desire to let go of the past, but it is holding me back
I'm trapped in the loop still I give us a chance
Though I feel like I am repeating the same mistakes, I still want to try and make things work between us
It's Time
It is the right moment to put our love back together
