This City Lyrics
Sleep quiet, lock the doors and stay the night.
Bomb shells and broken hearts fall far from sight.
Lights flashing far above me as I lay.
I never thought my life would end this way.
So take me away from here, the time is here.
A life all spent with you is closing in.
It's all I can see when I'm lost, oh.
Put out the fire and pretend to dream.
This city's sleepless but it's far from me.
So take me away from here, the time is here.
A life all spent with you is closing in.
Sorry, lord, I've lived my life away from you.
Soon I'll wake up standing there with you.
It's all I can see when I'm lost, oh.
Bomb shells and broken hearts fall far from sight.
Lights flashing far above me as I lay.
I never thought my life would end this way.
A life all spent with you is closing in.
It's all I can see when I'm lost, oh.
This city's sleepless but it's far from me.
A life all spent with you is closing in.
Sorry, lord, I've lived my life away from you.
Soon I'll wake up standing there with you.
It's all I can see when I'm lost, oh.

it´s not "the time is hear", but "the time is near"
i really don´t understand what this song means... first, i think, the song is about a person, and then suddenly he sings "sorry, lord"... could someone explain me that? :)
I think that 'someone' the song is about is God, since Until June is a Christian band. Good song though, picturing man near the end of his/her life, what will cross our mind, what we fear, where will we go after death etc

But I also think this song is somehow related to war. The songwriter is sick of wars in the world and wants to surrender everything to God
