About This Track

'Time Don't Wait' by Gareth is a 2025 track from the album 'Steal Your Thunder'. The lyrics look back on summer arriving and moving on without change, while plans pile up and the speaker grows uneasy at what has not been achieved. There is a sense of deferred optimism, with talk of saving up and settling down, alongside the blunt realisation signalled by the line “Ain't it”. It comes through as restless, reflective, and quietly accusatory, measuring someone’s promises against a year that has slipped away.

"Time Don't Wait" is a track by Gareth, from the album Steal Your Thunder, released 2nd May 2025. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Time Don't Wait

[Verse 1]

Summer came and went again

Didn't do the things that you said

Spent a whole year making plans and never looking up

Used to see your friends around

Now you're saving cash for a bigger house

Saying soon things will settle down and you'll finally come up

[Pre-Chorus]

Ain't it funny how "soon" never comes

[Chorus]

'Cause the days go slow and the years go fast

When the moment's gone, you can't get it back, you know

And you're killing time 'cause you think you got plenty

Till you say goodbye and you're not ready to let go

Yeah, the clock is ticking

If you think you'll miss it

'Cause when all is said and done

Timе don't wait for anyone

[Verse 2]

Keep saying when you get a chancе

That you'll put a ring on her hand

Well, how far you gonna kick that can on down the road?

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, some doors are only open till they're closed

[Chorus]

'Cause the days go slow and the years go fast

When the moment's gone, you can't get it back, you know

And you're killing time 'cause you think you got plenty

Till you say goodbye and you're not ready to let go

Yeah, the clock is ticking

If you think you'll miss it

'Cause when all is said and done

Time don't wait for anyone

[Post-Chorus]

Woah

Wait for anyone, mm

[Bridge]

Yeah, you'll call your ma tomorrow

Swear you'll take your old man fishing

Keep putting off the things that matter most

Until it hits you

[Chorus]

That the days go slow and the years go fast

When the moment's gone, you can't get it back, you know

And you're killing time 'cause you think you got plenty

Till you say goodbye and you're not ready to let go

Yeah, the clock is ticking

If you think you'll miss it

'Cause when all is said and done

Time don't wait for anyone

[Outro]

No, it don't wait for anyone
