Time Won't Wait
Sam Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He steps on the stair waiting for someone to get him
Bring him down to the party but everyone forgets him
So poor times with our sons, shuns the daddy, gets his mother too
Been good secretly
Fine young people can still be calloused
And time keeps turing while you're still jealous
That life means nothing while you get headless
No, time won't wait for no man to come down
He steps in his room waiting for someone to call him
Bring him out of it to cool waiting for someone to love me
But for times will our sons, shuns the daddy and his mother too
Been good once again
Fine young people can still be calloused
And time keeps turing while you're still jealous
That life means nothing while you get headless
No time won't wait for no man to come down

(Fine young people can still be calloused)
Fine young people can still be calloused
And time keeps turing while you're still jealous
That life means nothing while you get headless
No, time won't wait for no man to come down
Fine young people can still be calloused
And time keeps turing while you're still jealous
That life means nothing while you get headless




No time won't wait for no man to come down
To come down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sam Smith's "Time Won't Wait" reflect the experience of being left out and forgotten. The singer of the song waits on the stairs and in his room for someone to come and get him, to include him in the fun and love he craves. He observes the passing of time while feeling jealous of others who seem to be living life more fully. He worries that he himself might be "calloused," hardened to the world around him.


The song portrays a sense of sadness and hopelessness that comes from feeling disconnected from others. Being forgotten and excluded can make a person question their self-worth and wonder if they will ever find the love and acceptance they desire. The repeated line, "No time won't wait for no man to come down," underscores the urgency of this feeling. The singer seems to be saying, "Time is passing me by, and I need someone to save me before it's too late."


Overall, "Time Won't Wait" captures the feeling of being left behind. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt forgotten or overlooked in the world, and it serves as a reminder to cherish the connections we have with others and to never take them for granted.

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)
And the drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
I've got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
But you say to go slow but I fall behind
Time after time after time (after time, oh)

He treated this song with so much love, care, and respect... like he was holding something so fragile in his hands. ❤❤ the back up singers were amazing ❤ I think the answer to all the war in this world is Sam's voice

@wintergarden7539

Also, those backup singers. Perfection!

@thokozanigab
