Lost Time
Sweeney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we alright
'Cause I've been thinking lately love won't suffice
We need something more than just us to survive
So tell me are we chasing love or lost time
Tell me baby are we alright
'Cause I've been thinking lately love won't suffice
We need something more than just us to survive
So tell me are we chasing love or lost time
So honey if it comes down to it with a love life loser
Will you take another step into the sand
Know the hourglass frame a ticking time bomb baby
But what I'm on'll blow with you forever hand and hand
Take a second to thank my blessings and make amends
Never stressing you take my head into better winds
Second chances and second glances no looking back
Know if you want it then I got it you don't gotta ask
Baby no I didn't mean to fall in love
Wait a second take a minute we don't gotta rush
Know the petals from the flowers never counted up
But cupid lurking round the corner girl without bluff
I'm no more than a fool for you girl, so won't you
Tell me baby are we alright
'Cause I've been thinking lately love won't suffice
We need something more than just us to survive
So tell me are we chasing love or lost time
Tell me baby are we alright
'Cause I've been thinking lately love won't suffice
We need something more than just us to survive
So tell me are we chasing love or lost time
Yeah, yeah
I would go to party
You would have to pay up
Every other drink, had to go and get a chaser
Now I'm wasted, you got patience
Too lenient, pour a shot
Then I take 16
Listen, I am not like this
Double vision trippin in my seat while I write this
One more night, you gon' lose your mind
On god I could really lose you this time, hold up
So you'll know I'm writing this song about you
When I say miss the times
In the cave right by the sea side
Playing summer music while I stare into your eyes
Tell me baby are we alright
'Cause I've been thinking lately love won't suffice




We need something more than just us to survive
So tell me are we chasing love or lost time
