Lost
Morris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you standing by the light in the window of my bedroom
That old moon has never shined as bright as it's shining now on you
I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight
I've been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we're together and we're where we belong
I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long
Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say
I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine
Be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say
Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me
When we're making love
I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up, making up for lost time

I turn around and get lost in the look that you give to me
I drift away when I hear you say you've only lived to find me
Darling, let me hold you in my arms, darling, oh, so tight
I've been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we're together and we're where we belong
I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long

Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say
I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine
Be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say
Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me
When we're making love
I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up, making up for lost time

We never spent together, lost time
Better late than never, lost time
You know we'll be everyday
Making up, making up for lost time

We never spent together, lost time




Better late than never, lost time
We never spent together, lost time

Overall Meaning

The singer begins by describing seeing their beloved through the light in their bedroom window, impressed by the brightness of the moon shining down on them. The singer says they've been waiting for their partner "most of [their] life." Now that they've found their partner, the singer can't help but wonder why it took so long to find each other.


The first verse is followed by a chorus that describes how sometimes it feels like it takes too much time or too many roads to find the right person to love. The chorus says, "Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say, I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine, be with you all the time, and be the only light in your eyes that ever shines." The chorus concludes with, "I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time, making up, making up for lost time."


In the second verse, the singer describes being lost in their partner's gaze and drifting away every time their partner says they've only lived to find them. The singer can't wait to hold their partner tight and spend the rest of their life making up for lost time. The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing that despite the time they've missed together, they'll make up for it now that they're finally together.
