For So Long
Healing Hearts: Embracing Love's Redemption
Lyrics
We could drive all night
We have the option to drive throughout the night.
We could count the stars
We can engage in stargazing.
If you let me take your heart
If you allow me, I want to win your heart.
Can you promise you’ll keep mine?
Can you assure me that you'll cherish my heart as well?
Headphones and locked front doors
Using headphones and securing the front doors, suggesting intimacy and privacy.
Goodbye kisses on the porch
Bidding farewell with kisses on the porch.
This is all I ask for
This is my simple request.
Can we do this once more?
Can we experience this moment again?
Hanging pictures on the walls together
Sharing and creating memories by hanging pictures on the walls together.
Makes me wanna stay with you forever
Expresses a desire to stay together indefinitely.
I got nothing to lose
Feeling like there's nothing to lose.
Everything stops when I’m with you
Time seems to stand still when in the company of the person.
And nothing’s wrong
Everything feels right, and there are no problems.
My wounds are finally healing

The crossroads and traffic lights

I can’t thank them enough
Expressing gratitude for the events that brought the two together.
‘Cause now I’m here with you
Being thankful for the current presence of the person.
I can’t believe I spent so long running from you
Regretting the time spent avoiding the person.
But now I’m grateful for the steps that we took
Gratitude for the journey taken together despite past hesitations.

I always wondered who would choose me
Expressing a past uncertainty about being chosen by someone.
I needed somebody who wouldn’t confuse me
Desiring clarity and someone who won't cause confusion.
I wanted to find the one
Searching for a significant other and feeling content in having found them.
And I’m glad to say that I’m done
Expressing satisfaction in finding the right person.
‘Cause you’re all I’m looking for
