Timeless
The Cave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said "goodbye" I said "Hello"
I do believe in starting over
You know I can walk the streets of love
Where every kiss is a timeless story
Honey don't feel alone
You're in the world my favorite city
You'll always be the one I love
Look at the moon, the perfect place to be

I don't want to regret
All the things I've done
Can't you really understand
That you're still the one
Watch out world!

Then I wake up
What are you up to?
Miss the times when you were here with me
Always said that you were just a dream
But I think I'll kill the pain and walk away
I know that I'll go on alone
And I'll search for an answer along the way
Well I know that it's time to go
I'll learn the things you never taught me

I don't want to regret
All the things I've done
Can't you really understand
That you're still the one
I don't want to regret
All the things I've done
Can't you really understand
That you're still the one





Na na na na
Na na na na na

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Cave's song Timeless seem to be a reflection on a lost love who the singer deeply regrets losing. The first few lines present a conflicted persona who feels alone despite being surrounded by people - "A lot of things make me alone". The persona believes in "every signal" and remembers the moments of love shared with the girl. He remembers the kisses that woke him up and perhaps feels nostalgic for a past which he can't relive, expressing a longing for the girl to come back into his life, "I need you, on my own...I wish me used to be the one...I watch the moon and that's the place for me".


The second verse seems to indicate that the girl may have walked out of the singer's life on several occasions, leaving him hurt each time. Nevertheless, despite the hurt, the persona suggests that there is a sense of longing or belonging which he still feels for her. He says, "I know there is true belong, and it searches to define along the way but I know, many times ago, with everything you ever taught to me, yeah". The final lines of the song seem like a call to the girl or the world to listen to his plea to make things right, "WATCH OUT WORLD".


Overall, the lyrics of Timeless are deeply emotional and seem to suggest a sense of longing, regret and a desire to make amends.
