Forever For Now
Eternal Moments: A Tale of Love and Farewells
Lyrics
My boxes lining all the walls
Feeling overwhelmed by the presence of personal belongings placed along the walls.
Makes me feel so small
Expressing a sense of diminutiveness or insignificance due to the surrounding boxes.
A note you wrote was hidden in the couch
Finding a hidden note in the couch, presumably from a loved one.
"Hey babe it's gorgeous, make sure you get out"
Quoting a message from the note that encourages the person to appreciate life's beauty.
Oh, do I have to go?
Expressing reluctance or hesitation about leaving.
Oh, do I have to go?
-The sky turned red when you kissed my forehead
Describing a moment of intimacy, where the sky turns red, fingers melt, and a significant change occurs.
My fingers melted down your face
-And the ceilings shook, with one last look
-A broken man took my place
-And I said, is this forever somehow?
Pondering if the intense emotions and experiences are permanent, with the response suggesting they are enduring but temporary.
And you said this is forever for now
-The truck was waiting, but only half full
Describing a departure marked by a partially filled truck, a significant past, and a sense of resignation.
You wrote my history, when you stayed at the door
-I guess there's nothin', to do about it now
-Turn up the radio, and drown it out
-Oh, I can't let you go
Expressing difficulty in letting go of someone or something.
Oh, I can't let you go
-The sky is red, cause you kissed my forehead
Reiterating the powerful imagery of the sky turning red and physical connection, now accompanied by a replacement or change in identity.
My fingers melted down your face
-The ceilings shook, with one last look
-A broken man took my place
-And I said, is this forever somehow?
Revisiting the theme of questioning the permanence of the situation, with a confirmation that it is forever but qualified with "for now."
This is forever for now
