Through Time Songtext
von Róisín Murphy

Now the time has elapsed
It inevitably has come to pass
That I write for you at last
A song, a rhyme

Oh, to tell you the truth of it
I′m a little confused myself
Is it through memory's rose-tinted glass?
I have come to ask

Or is it a love that was meant to last
Through time itself

Proving us wrong all along
Shouldn′t we be holding on
It's a silly thing, really, that you shouldn't believe in
Nothing too complicated, endlessly formulated
Foolish romantic ideals of love


Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
As beautifully flawed
We′ll make mistakes and then
Life is the art of learning to live with it through time

But you knew it all along
You who are wiser than I
See it coming, see it coming
See it coming every time

How did you predict the end of the world
When you can′t see beyond
The end of your nose?
Would you look at the life I chose
Baby, it's you I need to tell it to
Maybe no other will ever do
Through time

Shouldn′t we be holding on
Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn′t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do


Shouldn't we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn′t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Proving us wrong all along

Ideals of love

Foolish romantic
Ideals of love

Could there be such a thing?
How could there be such a thing
Beautifully flawed?
Ideals of love
