Well Done
Jeremy Passion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I don't understand
Why I thought that I had
All the time in the world
To go and see you awhile
For just a little while.

Too caught up in my own life
I didn't see the pain you hid with a smile

And now you're not here with me
Should have been, could have been, would have been, alright

Wish I knew how to turn back the hands of time
'Cause maybe then I'd be here by your side

Wish that I had done just a little more
Wish that I could see you one more time
But I know that God holds your life
Your battle has finally won and He said well done
My faithful servant well done

Too many times in our lives
Do we take things for granted
I don't understand it, no
When it's right in front of our eyes
Thinking they would be here for all times
Wish I knew how to turn back the hands of time
'Cause maybe then you'd be here by my side

Wish that I had done just a little more
Wish that I could see you one more time
But I know that God holds your life
Your battle has finally won

Wish that I had done just a little more for you
Wish that I could see you one more time
But I know that God holds your life
Your battle has finally won

Wish I knew how to turn back the hands of time
'Cause maybe then I'd be here by your side

Wish that I had done just a little more for you
Wish that I could see you one more time
But I know that God holds your life
Your battle has finally won
And he said well done
My faithful servant well done
And God said well done

Oh Grandma well done
And he said well done...

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I don't understand
There are moments when I lack comprehension

Why I thought that I had
How I believed I possessed

All the time in the world
An abundance of time

To go and see you awhile
To visit with you briefly

For just a little while.
For a short period of time

Too caught up in my own life
Much too preoccupied with my existence

I didn't see the pain you hid with a smile
I failed to recognize the pain you concealed with a grin

And now you're not here with me
Presently, you are not here with me

Should have been, could have been, would have been, alright
Everything would have been okay, should I have done differently

Wish I knew how to turn back the hands of time
If only I knew how to manipulate time

'Cause maybe then I'd be here by your side
I could be with you now
