Lyrics
So long, I've been looking too hard
Expressing the duration of the search and effort in finding someone.
I've been waiting too long
Conveying impatience due to a prolonged waiting period.
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
Uncertainty about the qualities of the person to be found.
I only know it's a matter of time
Confident that finding the right person is only a matter of time.

Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
