Lyrics
Red eyes and romance with plans
Expressing emotional intensity ("red eyes") and a connection with romantic plans.
We don't know yet
Uncertainty about the future; a lack of knowledge or clarity.
And people that we'll talk about
Anticipation of discussing important people in their lives.
When we both get older
Looking forward to growing old together and sharing experiences.
And time becomes honest
Time becoming a truthful measure as they age.
And there's not, not much of it left
A sense of limited time left, emphasizing its preciousness.
Oh, I'll sing the same songs about you
Commitment to singing and writing about the person, expressing enduring love.
And write a few more
Promising to create more art inspired by the significant other.
'Til my heart stops inside of my chest
Expressing dedication until the end of life ("heart stops inside of my chest").
You'll be my last request
Emphasizing that the person will be the singer's final wish.
Alone, I've got no chance
Feeling helpless and having no chance alone, underscoring the importance of the other person.
Without you, I'm hopeless
Describing a sense of hopelessness without the significant other.
Like a highway with no destination
Using a metaphor of a highway with no destination to convey a lack of purpose without the other person.
So come rest your head and roll over
Inviting the person to find solace and intimacy together.
When the world turns its shoulder
Being there for each other during challenging times when the world turns away.
We'll be there like no one else can
Expressing a unique and unparalleled support for each other.
Swear I'll never change
Pledging to remain true to oneself and not change for anyone.
I'll be there 'til there's nothing else left
Promising to be there until there's nothing else left, emphasizing unwavering commitment.
'Til my heart stops inside of my chest
Reiterating dedication until the end of life ("heart stops inside of my chest").
You'll be my last request
Reaffirming that the person is the singer's ultimate and final request.
Don't take your eyes off my eyes
Asking for continued eye contact, symbolizing a deep connection.
We're golden
Describing a precious and valuable connection, using the metaphor of being "golden."
Don't think I'll ever leave
Expressing a strong commitment to staying with the person.
'Cause I'm sold
Stating that the singer is sold on the relationship, indicating complete devotion.
Don't take your eyes off my eyes
Reiterating the importance of eye contact for maintaining the connection.
We're golden
Using the metaphor of being "golden" again to emphasize the precious nature of the relationship.
Don't think I'll ever leave
