Sooner or Later
Year & Years Lyrics

Last night you slipped into my dream (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The singer dreamed that they were with someone they desire.

Blue waves, red earth, and purple sea (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The dream included vivid and surreal imagery.

You tell me things I never could believe, no
In the dream, the person speaks to the singer in a way that seems too good to be true.

I'll take (I'll take) your words like ecstasy
The artist is willing to believe anything the person in the dream has to say.

You're a heartbreaker, you'll be the death of me
The person in the dream is dangerous and could potentially cause harm to the artist.

Sooner or later, sooner or later (ah, ah, ah)
Despite the threat, the singer is still drawn to the person.

Love chaser, you're chasing it out of me
The person's pursuit of love is draining the singer emotionally.

But I'm gonna break you, sooner or later
The artist intends to take revenge on the person who is hurting them.

You'll be mine
The artist is determined to make this person theirs.

I swear I saw you on my street (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The artist believes they saw the person from their dream in real life.

Your face (your face) your smile was vanishing (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The person seemed to be disappearing.

'Cause we're forever playing hide and seek (oh, baby)
The relationship between the artist and the person is elusive and difficult.

But I can't fight what I cannot see (oh, no)
The singer feels powerless against their strong feelings for this person.

I'm gonna find you, I'm coming, ready or not
The singer is willing to go to great lengths to track down and be with the person.

Wherever you're hiding, just know that I'll never stop (you'll be mine)
The singer is persistent in their pursuit of the person.

Sooner or later you'll be mine
The artist is confident that they will eventually win over the person they desire.

I'm gonna find you, I'm coming, ready or not
The artist is actively searching for the person.

Sooner or later, sooner or later (you'll be mine)
The singer is convinced that they will eventually be with the person.

Love chaser (huh), you're chasing it out of me (out of me)
The person is causing the singer to become emotionally drained and exhausted.

I'm gonna find you, I'm coming, ready or not
The artist is determined to track down the person.

Sooner or later, sooner or later (you'll be mine)
The artist is sure that they will eventually have the person they desire.
