Lyrics

We bide our time

We wait patiently

Though the time is fine

Even though the moment is enjoyable

Oh to be there, I could be there

Expressing a desire to be present in a particular situation

Say you'll be there

Requesting assurance of presence


You know the way, I

Acknowledging familiarity with the route

Can't resist you, I

Admitting inability to resist someone

Said to myself I'll try

Making a commitment to attempt something


Why do we waste time

Raising a question about the purpose of wasting time

Hiding it inside?

Keeping emotions hidden internally

I want you to be mine

Expressing a desire for a romantic connection


Now it's dead and gone

Referring to a past event that is now over

You say what you would've done

Stating what actions someone would have taken

You would've been there

Expressing a wish for someone's presence in the past

I wish you'd been there

Reiterating the desire for someone to be there

I needed you there

Highlighting the need for someone's presence


And if we try once more

Proposing another attempt

Would you give me it all?

Asking for complete commitment in another try

I won't believe it

Expressing skepticism until tangible evidence is felt

'Til I can feel it

Insisting on a tangible, felt experience

Can you feel it?

Questioning if the other person can feel it too


You know the way, I

Reiteration of inability to resist someone

Can't resist you, I

Reaffirming the commitment to try

Said to myself I'll try

Reiteration of the commitment to try
