Again
Eternal Moments: A Love That Defies Time in 'Again' by The Symbols
Lyrics
This couldn't happen again
This experience is unlikely to be repeated.
This is that once in a lifetime
It is a rare occurrence that happens only once in a lifetime.
This is the thrill divine
The feeling is incredibly exciting and special.
What's more, this never happened before
Emphasizing the uniqueness, stating it never happened before.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Expressing a long-standing desire through prayers.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Refers to someone special becoming unexpectedly theirs.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Currently possessing the person, feeling close, but not forever.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Ownership of the moment, anticipating its disappearance.
What matters, dear, for when
Questioning the importance of the present moment.
This doesn't happen again
Anticipating the end of this unique experience.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to cherish this particular moment eternally.
But never, never, again
Despite the commitment, acknowledging it won't happen again.
Again, this couldn't happen again
Reiteration of the improbability of a recurrence.
This is that once in a lifetime
Re-emphasizing the rarity of the experience.
This is the thrill divine
Reiterating the intense and extraordinary nature of the feeling.
What's more, this never happened before
Reaffirming that this has never happened before.
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
Repeating the theme of longing for this unique experience.
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Expressing the unexpected possession of the desired person.
Mine to hold as I"m holding you now and yet never so near
Currently holding the person, feeling close, yet acknowledging impermanence.
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
Ownership of the moment, aware of its fleeting nature.
What matters, dear, for when
Reflecting on the significance of the present.
This doesn't happen again
Anticipating the unlikelihood of a recurrence.
We'll have this moment forever
Committing to cherish this particular moment eternally (repeated).
