Time For Love
Ronan Keating Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time time, time time

We've got time to climb a mountain
And time to build a wall
By the time we finally build it
The wall's already fallen

But girl, it's me and not time to blame
That you don't have my last name
Let's find the time for love
We need the time for us, yeah

We've got time to cross the oceans
The time to fight a war
By the time we finish fighting
We forgot what we were dying for

So many good have lost their lives
Why can't we put away the knives?
And find the time for love
We need the time for us, yeah

I had a strange feeling
When I held you last night
I could feel you were slipping away
If you give me one chance
I'll make the wrong I've done right
God, give me one more day

Time for love
? just you and me

I'll find the time for love
We need the time for us

I had a strange feeling
When I held you last night
I could feel you were slipping away
If you give me one chance
I'll make the wrong, I've done right
God, give me one more day

I had a strange feeling
When I held you last night
I could feel you were slipping away
If you give me one chance




I'll make the wrong, I've done right
God, give me one more day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ronan Keating's song "Time for Love - 21st Century" express a desire for more time for love in a world that seems to be constantly rushing forward without pause to consider the importance of love and relationships. The song reflects on the fact that we live in an era where time is a scarce commodity and we often struggle to find the time to cherish and nurture our relationships. The song's opening lines of "time time, time time" repeat this sense of urgency, as if the singer is imploring us to take a step back and consider how much time we have, and how much time we need to dedicate to our relationships.


The verses of the song describe situations where we have time to do things like "climb a mountain" or "cross the oceans," but no time for the important things like "love" and "us." The chorus reinforces the theme of the song, with the lyrics "Let's find the time for love, we need the time for us." The singer is calling for a shift in priorities, from material achievements and war to love and relationships. The song's climax comes with the lines "God, give me one more day," suggesting that the singer is aware of his past mistakes in neglecting his relationship, and is seeking a chance to make things right.

Time time, time time
We acknowledge the significance of time in our lives


We've got time to climb a mountain
We have ample time to achieve our goals


And time to build a wall
We can create anything we set our minds to


By the time we finally build it
But sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don't go as planned


The wall's already fallen
Our creations may not be as lasting as we had hoped


But girl, it's me and not time to blame

The time to fight a war
But sometimes adversity makes us forget what we're fighting for


By the time we finish fighting
And the cost may not be worth the result


We forgot what we were dying for
We need to remember why we started fighting in the first place


So many good have lost their lives
The consequences of fighting are often dire


Why can't we put away the knives?
Why do we continue to harm each other when we could be kind?


And find the time for love
We need to prioritize what's truly important


I had a strange feeling
I sense that something is wrong


When I held you last night
In the intimacy of our relationship, I could feel that something was off

Something is not right between us
