Lyrics
i've been thinking when time ends that i'll look back on all i wanted and i'll embrace all that i wasn't
I reflect on my desires and accept my shortcomings as time comes to an end.
i've been hoping
I have been anticipating.
that you and i might end
Hoping that our relationship might come to an end.
in a place where we feel wanted never worried never hunted
Desiring a place where we feel wanted, free from worries and threats.
we could seal our past and restart now
We could leave our past behind and start anew.
you and i know we could never slow down
We acknowledge that we cannot slow down.
i would follow you through the century
I am committed to following you through time.
and if we start again we could start to see we
If we restart, we may begin to understand each other.
won't remember which car we drove won't remember the city or the roads forget the money the money's not real only remember how it feels
We won't remember material possessions, only the emotional experiences.
to lie awake in the heart of the night
To be awake in the heart of the night.
the one you love's right by your side
Feeling the presence of the loved one.
and it feels so real that you fear you've died
A profound experience that feels so real it's almost frightening.
i would give all of my heart if i could turn back time i'd know...
I would give everything if I could turn back time and have you.
that i had you please don't go you don't have to
Pleading for the loved one not to leave.
now i spend time thinking how i've been turning back to all i wanted
Contemplating the past and what I desired.
i was certain of my promise
I was once sure of my commitment.
now it's get out, get out, don't need it right now i'm so sorry i can't turn it around
Now there's a realization that something needs to end, with regret that it can't be changed.
i really wish that i could see who we were back then
Expressing a desire to see who we were in the past.
so i could see what really matters when we reach the end we
To understand what truly matters as we approach the end.
won't remember which car we drove won't remember the city or the roads forget the money the money's not real only remember how it feels
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the importance of emotional experiences over material things.
to lie away in the heart of the night
Reiterating the experience of being awake in the heart of the night.
the one you love's right by your side
The presence of the loved one is comforting.
and it feels so real that you fear you've died
The experience feels so real that there's a fear of losing it.
i would give all of my heart if i could turn back time i'd know... (chorus x2)
Repetition of the desire to turn back time and have the loved one.
that i had you
Expressing the regret of not realizing the value of the loved one.
please don't go
Pleading once again for the loved one not to leave.
you don't have to
Reassurance that leaving is not necessary.
now i know
A realization of having the loved one.
that i had you please don't go you don't have to
Repetition of the plea for the loved one to stay.
i had you...
A acknowledgment of having the loved one.
