Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Numb and broken, here I stand alone,
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time.
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
Numb and broken, here I stand alone,
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
It won't be long. We'll meet again.
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time.
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
Numb and broken, here I stand alone,
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
It won't be long. We'll meet again.
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
