Sooner or Later
Jannez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh what a price we pay
For the things we say
And the closer I get to you
The further you move away
All the lies we tell
In the games we play
And the longer I think it over
The harder it is to stay

Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind
You didn't want to know
I could have told you so
But the moment I think it's over
The further there is to go
Just a little word
Such an easy way
But the longer I think about it
The harder it is to say
Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind

(Mind)
(Last thing on my mind)

Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind

(Mind)

Last thing on my mind
Last thing on my mind

Line by Line Meaning

Oh what a price we pay
We pay a heavy price for the things we say

For the things we say
Our words can have long-lasting consequences

And the closer I get to you
As we get closer, our distance grows

The further you move away
The more distant you become

All the lies we tell
We often deceive each other

In the games we play
In our interactions with each other

And the longer I think it over
The more I reflect on it

The harder it is to stay
The more difficult it becomes to remain in this situation

Sooner or later I'll be free
Eventually, I will break free

To leave the past behind
And leave the past in the past

Sooner or later you're gonna be
Eventually, you will become
