Time Will Wait
Submotion Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be waiting,
If it's on your heart
For a time to move back to the start
I know, you need to take your time
Darling,
It's alright,
Time will wait for you
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
time will wait and I'll wait here,
wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
I will wait here for you,
I will wait here for you,
Eyes now are getting if we can't forget
All the same
this time
set aside the pain
oh the light shines
if it's right as this
Darling,
It's alright
Time will wait for you,
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
time will wait and I'll wait here,
wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
I'll wait here for you,
I'll wait here for you,
I'll be waiting on the road for you
Dark and narrow
Just enough for two
Every ending
Leads to something new
Darling, it's all right
Time will wait for you
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here,
Wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you




(for you)
I'll wait
