In The Meantime
Florian Ostertag Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the meantime, I'll be singing
I know I'll be with you sometime
Patiently I will be waiting
For this moment to arrive

I must look like I've been crying
I'm sorry about it, to tell the truth
It was just to get some attention
From you
And I couldn't think of anything else
I could do

Maybe I wouldn't be so soaking wet
If I had gone out of the rain before
And happiness is overrated, I don't know
I guess I shouldn't take it all so seriously

And in the meantime, I'll be singing
I know I'll be with you sometime
Patiently I will be waiting
For this moment to arrive

Now I have to admit that I do
get kind of lonely now and then
So I tell myself it's cause I'm without you
And you, yeah you are just another synomyne
For love

And in the meantime, I'll be singing
I know I'll be with you sometime
Patiently I will be waiting
For this moment to arrive

(dododododo dodododo dododo)

And I'll be dancing
And probably look really stupid
But I won't tell

And in the meantime, I'll be singing
I know I'll be with you sometime




Patiently I will be waiting
For this moment to arrive
