Time Is Running Out
GALAPAGOS-P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about
So don't live in your doubt

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about

So don't live in your doubt

Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so give yourself a chance
Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so come on take a stand

Things to do
Things I'll lose

Where to go?
What all to do?
Twenty years I've spent looking backwards
All that IS
Is happening now
Twenty years of asking why and how?

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about
So don't live in your doubt

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about
So don't live in your doubt

Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so give yourself a chance
Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so come on take a stand

Even if life is meaningless...
Asking what's all the point in this?
The fact is I'm alive
Ain't that weird?
Isn't that weird?
A bit strange...

Even if life is meaningless
There's something more that I confess
That I believe there is happiness
Isn't that weird?
A bit strange

Time's running out and
my time's running out and
your time's running out and
our time's running out

Time's running, running, running
Time's running, running, running
Time's running, running, running
Time Is Running Out!

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about
So don't live in your doubt

Time's running out
So make it all count
That's what life's all about
So don't live in your doubt

Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so give yourself a chance

Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey
You'll be with you for life so come on take a stand
