Time Is On Our Side
New Kids on the Block Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's more to what I feel inside
And if I told you
Would you be my girl
For you I'd travel 'round the world
Time is on our side
You're my one true love girl
Time is on our side girl
Lat's show the whole world
Love is the answer
Time is our closest friend
If I sent you flowers
Would you wlk away
Or would it be enough to make you stay
Even though we're young girl
One thing's for sure
In time our love will endure
Time is on our side
You're my one true love girl
We've come too far to ever be just friends
Time is on our side girl
Lat's show the whole world
Love is the answer
Time is our closest friend
Babe what would you say
Time brings us closer everyday
Time is on our side
You're my one true love girl
We've come too far to ever be just friends
Time is on our side girl
Lat's show the whole world
Love is the answer
Time is our closest friend
The song "Time Is on Our Side" by New Kids on the Block is about the power of time and the enduring strength of love. The lyrics suggest that there is more to love than just what meets the eye and what one feels inside, and that if one were to express their love, it could lead to a deeper connection with the other person. The idea of time is referenced throughout the song, with the lyrics emphasizing that time is on their side and that it will only bring them closer together.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of distance and the willingness to travel, suggesting that love knows no bounds and that their love is strong enough to withstand the miles between them. The idea of sending flowers as a sign of love is also mentioned, with the lyrics questioning whether it would be enough to keep the other person from leaving.
