Vancouver's brit-inspired rockers Columbia have been spending most of the year in some intensive songwriting sessions, gearing up for the recording of their second album.

But the whole recording process can be a lengthy one, so rather than wait many months to release something new, the band decided to jump into a friend's studio and crank out one of their favourite new songs as quickly as possible. And that they did. One week later the song is not only finished and awaiting the mixing and mastering stage, but they've also filmed a video for it too.

So in prep for the new song, here's the lyrics for you, plus a little teaser for the new video we'll be premiering next week. If you've seen the band perform recently, then you might already be familiar with the new song, The Time.

Lyrics: The Time
Verse 1:
I don’t know why we’re living this way
It seems so wrong so I just have to say
I will come for you.
and i don’t know what I’m supposed to do
I’ve spent all my time getting over you
Now I will come for you

Chorus:
When the rain starts falling down and you feel there’s no one there,
that’s the time you should know, that you’ll never be alone.

Verse 2:
I don’t know what we’re going to do,
but i’ll spend this life getting old with you,
that’s why I, I will come for you

Chorus:
So when the rain starts falling down and you feel there’s no one there,
that’s the time you should know, that you’ll never be alone.

Bridge:
I know life can seem harder at times
Which way is right if there are no signs
We could be less, but we should be much more
I’ll always be right here, you should know…

Chorus:
That when the tears start falling down and you feel like there’s no one there
That’s the time you will know, that you’ll never be alone
That’s the time when you will know, that you’ll never be alone, alone, alone, alone.
