No Time To Lose
Tarney-Spencer Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know not what it is
Heading for
And as the evening lies dying
A gentle heart dies near me sighing
It's still the same
You'll never change
You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game
What a game
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose
There ain't no way to see forever
It's only day to day
I'm living for
Like a wheel you keep me turning
Put your love inside me burning
Questions plain
When you're lovin' me
You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game
What a game
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose
You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
The song "No Time To Lose" by Tarney-Spencer Band asserts the importance of living in the moment and letting go of the past. The lyrics describe the singer's daily struggle, feeling lost and uncertain about their direction in life. The line "every day I walk in shadows, I know not what it is, heading for" highlights the uncertainty and confusion that the singer feels. The subsequent lyrics then describe a person with a gentle heart who is dying, signifying the impermanence of life and the need to appreciate the present.
The chorus emphasizes the song's central message of seizing the moment, letting go of things that hold us back, and staying true to who we are. It's a reminder that there's no time to waste, and so we must "go with the flow, never let go." The lyrics "We can now be like water, don't need more to find our way" speaks to the importance of allowing ourselves to be adaptable and flexible as we navigate life’s path.

Their albums were on Spotify at one time but were taken off the Platform. No idea why.
