Love Story
Layo feat. Bushwacka! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time on your own never ending
time keeps its own time
here we stand at the beggining
when heroes are passing us by
And i, i, i cant dream of a song
i hope i'm in a better state
when here and now crumbles and falls
and you, you, you can make the worlds collide
i knew you'd come knocking one day
unannounced like a theif in the night
So tell me how do you do?
finally i need you
you don't know what i been through
well do you wonder about me?
i had dreams and premonissions 'bout you
and now i'm no paradise
Tommorow, tommorow, tomorrow means nothing at all
if you and i don't realise
that today is the right time
and morning, morning, morning will never be the same,
if we make the same mistakes
time and time again
time and time again
So tell me how do you do?
finally i need you
you don't know what i been through
well do wonder about me?
i had dreams and premonissions 'bout you
and now i'm no paradise
[lots of music, some time later...]
So tell me how do you do?
finally i need you
you don't know what i been through
well do wonder about me?
i had dreams and premonissions 'bout you
and now i'm no paradise
So tell me how do you do?
finally i need you
you don't know what i been through
well do wonder about me?
i had dreams and premonissions 'bout you
and now i'm no paradise
So tell me how do you do?
finally i need you
you don't know what i been through
well do wonder about me?




i had dreams and premonissions 'bout you
and now i'm no paradise

Finally, the song ends with a repeated refrain, suggesting that the singer's desire for this other person is a constant and enduring thing.
