I Don't Wanna Stop Lyrics
Hey there I hope everything's all right
I forgot to call you in the wintertime
Like the wave crash coming back
I've got feelings pouring down against this healing
While you try to trace which side I'm on
When the wind blows between us
High above this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
When the waves crash beneath us
Down below this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Can we dance like everything's all right
Can we trade the day in for the night
Like a homesick tournament
I'm not breathing till I leave with you believing
I don't want to trace another song
When the wind blows between us
High above this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
When the waves crash beneath us
Down below this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I forgot to call you in the wintertime
Like the wave crash coming back
I've got feelings pouring down against this healing
While you try to trace which side I'm on
High above this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
When the waves crash beneath us
Down below this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Can we trade the day in for the night
Like a homesick tournament
I'm not breathing till I leave with you believing
I don't want to trace another song
High above this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
When the waves crash beneath us
Down below this empty feeling
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop

I've tried for so long to analyze this song. One way to analyze a song is when you're really addicted to it, probably when you first download it and listen for a couple hundred times, because usually you're going through a phase in your own life that has to do with the songs lyrics... even if you're not aware. Anyway, From the lyrics and the video by ATB, it seems like she wants more than just a casual hook up but he doesnt, he just wants her. period. and She lets him get under her skin, check out the video.
I agree. Although I've known this song for more years than i care to remember, it's always given me this melancholic state. Like the one you have when you're badly hoping for something to change, to improve but that you know deep down will never be better than it already is. Like you're stuck in a situation that gives you both joy and sorrow. Like when it itches and when you scratch you're both relieved and irritated. Like you'd settle for anything as opposed to nothing at all.

i'm not sure what this song is really about, but it feels like an addiction. pretending that there is no problem, unable to quit, no wish to quit. somewhere deep down you know you're not alright.
i signed up on this site specifically to get information on the meaning of this song. Glad that their were at least 2 prior postings with thoughts and suggestions. Too bad they were posted about six years ago, but still appreciate both of the comments/suggestions. I too have tried to define some of the song lyrics to get an idea about what they mean, including "like a homesick tunneling" & the lyrics about tracing the side/song. What"s cool but also kind of frustrating about the song for me, is that I have loved it for so long, but don't really understand what it's true meaning is. It makes me reflective and sad to a point, but I also feel like celebrating life and dancing when i hear it. I think both of the previous posts offer interesting perspectives, especially the addiction possibility, I guess at some point someone will just need to try and contact him via social media and straight out ask him.
My favorite part is "Can we dance like everything's alright, Can we trade the day in for the night"
