Say Forever
Eternal Moments: Lukas Graham's Touching Reflection on Life's Transience
Lyrics
Maybe you felt it, maybe you didn't
Reflecting on whether a connection was felt
But there is a moment where everything switches
Highlighting a moment of significant change
From the start 'til the end
Acknowledging the entire journey from beginning to end
You had the world right under your feature
Having the world at one's disposal
You had a wild ride, you got to see things
Experiencing a memorable and impactful journey
So hard to forget
Emphasizing the difficulty of forgetting such experiences
The words that you told me, I've kept in my chest
Remembering words spoken and keeping them private
I'm not sure I can't let go of them yet
Struggling to let go of the mentioned words
Life's just too short to get caught up in stuff like this
Realizing the brevity of life and not getting caught up in trivial matters
So if it's the last song, then let's dance
Suggesting a desire to enjoy the last moments with a dance
If it's the last touch of our hands
Expressing the significance of physical touch in final moments
What if we can't do this again?
Contemplating the possibility of not repeating the experience
Let's hold each other 'til the end
Committing to hold each other until the end
And if it's the last night, then don't sleep
Suggesting staying awake to cherish the last night
If it's a goodbye, then don't speak
Advising against saying goodbye
Let's just pretend it's all alright
Choosing to pretend that everything is alright
Let's say forever one last time
Expressing a desire to say "forever" one last time
I wake in the morning missing the memory
Feeling the absence of a cherished memory in the morning
So many boxes, all of them empty
Noticing empty boxes, symbolizing a lack of tangible remnants
Not a thing left inside
Highlighting the absence of physical possessions
And when my eyes close, you know where my dreams go
Revisiting memories in dreams, specifically a familiar place
Back to your front room, chair by the window
Recalling a specific setting with a chair by the window
The photographs are in my mind
Mentally preserving memories through mental imagery
The words that you told me, I've kept in my chest
Reiteration of keeping impactful words internally
I'm not sure I can't let go of them yet
Continued struggle in letting go of the mentioned words
Life's just too short to get caught up in stuff like this
Reiterating the shortness of life and avoiding unnecessary concerns
So if it's the last song, then let's dance
Emphasizing the significance of dancing in final moments
If it's the last touch of our hands
Highlighting the importance of physical connection
What if we can't do this again?
Considering the possibility that the experience may not repeat
Let's hold each other 'til the end
Committing to holding each other until the end
And if it's the last night, then don't sleep
Suggesting staying awake to savor the last night
If it's a goodbye, then don't speak
Advising against saying goodbye
Let's just pretend it's all alright
Choosing to pretend that everything is alright
And let's say forever one last time
Expressing a desire to say "forever" one last time
There's good and there's bad and there's bits in between
Acknowledging the existence of both good and bad experiences
There's no going back to the places we've been
Emphasizing the impossibility of returning to past experiences
There's just no way to explain what you mean to me
Expressing difficulty in explaining the significance of someone
So if it's the last song, then let's dance
Reiterating the desire to enjoy the last moments with a dance
If it's the last touch of our hands
Emphasizing the importance of physical touch in final moments
What if we can't do this again?
Contemplating the possibility of not repeating the experience
Let's hold each other 'til the end
Committing to hold each other until the end
If it's the last night, then don't sleep
Suggesting staying awake to savor the last night
If it's a goodbye, then don't speak
Advising against saying goodbye
Let's just pretend it's all alright
Choosing to pretend that everything is alright
And let's say forever one last time, yeah
Expressing a desire to say "forever" one last time
