Any Minute Now
Soulwax Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run
Think fast
It'll catch up with you
Any minute now

Cause it's not my style
to cover up so hurry up
Any minute now

Names you

Can you hear me now (2x)

Whatever you hold back for me
Whatever I try to tell you
It lives on the outside of truth
Whatever you think it might be
Whatever I want to believe
It lives on the outside of me

Seek and hide
You never know what you will find
Any minute now

First and then




what shall we again again
any minute now
