If Time Stood Still
Eternal Promises and Fragile Hearts: If Time Stood Still
Lyrics
The distance that we keep
The emotional or physical distance between us.
Between us in the day
Highlighting the separation during the day.
In the bed where we lay
Referencing the intimacy of the shared bed.
Down to sleep
Mentioning going to sleep, implying a shared life.
Little fights that we pick
Small conflicts or disagreements in the relationship.
How can you say you'll love me forever
Questioning the sincerity of eternal love.
And know that you mean it?
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of the commitment.
If time stood still
Imagining a scenario where time stops.
And we had forever
Considering the idea of having an infinite amount of time together.
You would never
Expecting that under such conditions, declarations of love would be constant.
Say you love me
Anticipating a continuous expression of love.
And that you always will
Desiring a commitment that lasts forever.
Don't make a promise like that
Advising against making unattainable promises.
'Cause it will hurt me more
Warning that breaking such promises would be particularly painful.
If you take it back
Stressing the emotional impact of retracting a promise.
A promise means nothing
Contemplating the value of promises if they are impossible to fulfill.
If it's unattainable
Suggesting that a promise is meaningful only if achievable.
Just say you love me today
Encouraging a more realistic expression of love today.
That's more believable
Emphasizing the credibility of expressing love in the present.
If time stood still
Repeating the idea of time standing still and having unlimited time.
And we had forever
Reiterating the concept of eternal togetherness.
You would never
Expecting consistent declarations of love in a timeless scenario.
Say you love me
Desiring a continuous expression of love in a timeless context.
And that you always will
Expressing the hope for everlasting commitment.
Don't make a promise like that
Repeating the caution against making unattainable promises.
'Cause it will hurt me more
Reiterating the potential pain of breaking unfulfillable promises.
If you take it back
Stressing the emotional consequences of retracting promises.
If you take it back
Emphasizing the gravity of taking back promises.
If time stood still
Returning to the concept of time standing still and eternal love.
And we had forever
Reiterating the desire for timeless and continuous love.
You would never
Expecting unwavering declarations of love in a timeless state.
Say you love me
Desiring a perpetual expression of love in an everlasting context.
And that you always will
Hoping for a commitment that lasts forever in a timeless setting.
Don't make a promise like that
Advising against making promises that cannot be kept.
'Cause it will hurt me more
Reiterating the potential pain of breaking unattainable promises.
If you take it back
Stressing the emotional consequences of retracting promises.
If you take it back
Reemphasizing the gravity of taking back promises.
