Just In Time
Take 6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came
My time was running low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go

Now you’re here
And now I know just where i’m going
No more doubt or fear
I’ve found my way for love came

Just in time, you found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day
Changed my lonely life, that lovely

Just in time, I found you just in time, before you came
My time was running low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go

Now you’re here and now I know just where i’m going
No more doubt or fear
I’ve found my way for love came

Just in time, you found me just in time
And changed my lonely life, that lovely

Now you’re here
And now I know just where i’m going




No more doubt or fear
I’ve found my way for love came
