Indefinitely Lyrics

Everyday in every way I’m falling
everything that everyone says turns me on/off
shine a light on me
so that everyone can see that I wanna stay here indefinitely
time exists but just on your wrist so don't panic
moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
so wind your watches down please
cos there's no time to lose
and I’m goanna stay here indefinitely
and I wanna stay here so just let me be
now I can see the light circling round your reflection
and I’m goanna stay here indefinitely
and I’m goanna stay here so just let me be
indefinitely (X6)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Fran (lead singer) has actually mentioned his theory behind some of this song... that everyone is always obsessed with time, what time it is... but time isn't what you end up remembering, just moments. Killer song, by the way! :)

The best lyric of any Travis song is 'Time exists just on your wrists, so don't panic. Moments last, and lifetimes are lost in a day.' It's all about getting out of the hectic rat-race and just living for yourself, because it could all be over tomorrow.

i agree with the time thing, but i pictured it as a dream. i just want to stay in this dream forever, where there is no time. PLus because at the end you hear an alarm clock or something, right?

I agree with Missbliss. I never pictured it can be about a dream but when I read the comment, I tought it would just fit right with the song. And with the alarm clock at the end...yeah I'm pretty sure it's about that.

to me, this song was always about wanting to drift away from reality. he's probably sleeping and he wants to forget time and fall away. a very relaxing song.

FAVORITE PART: [depends on mood]

My gosh this song gets me teary eyed and goose pimples. The orchestral movements at the end make this an amazing song.
