Dear Time Traveler

"I know you cant stand when I wake up, hold on to your hand and I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to let go of the things that I love way too much" makes me cry every time.. i'm thinking this song is about a guy who is so deeply in love with a girl who just doesn't share the same feelings back, and eventhough you want to give up, you can't.

this song is amazing.

i loooove this song. a lot. one of my favorites of all time. "light my way back home cause i'm feeling so alone"... idk how many times in my life i can relate to this song. but it's a ton. they're amazing.

suprised there isnt more comments =/ this is one of there better songs i think. the beauty in the breakdown is best though.

I'll approach you and wait, it's been several weeks coming and I'd give it up, give it away to be able to tell you how I really feel and how I'd give it up to hear you say cause were counting the seconds and minutes weve spent here cant seem to just throw you away when it's all said and done dear and were packing our things will the memories keep me thinking?

The guy has a approached the girl in terms of starting some sort of relationship and he finds himself deeply in love. He is deeply in love with her and wishes to tell her how he feels and to hear her telling him she loves him back. This failure to achieve a deeper conection makes him reconsider the time hes probably wasting so he wonders if hed remember her after if he left or if hed regret it later.

so where do we go when its all over and will you be coming back, coming to me?

if the relationship ended, does she love him enough to come back to him?

cause I've been waiting here to declare a new meaning to feel the way I do and it just happens to be one of the things that I'd like pretend cause I know you cant stand when I wake up, hold on to your hand and I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to let go of the things that I love way too much

This is what happens following he break up, because he hopes that shell come back to him. Declaring the new meaning is establishing a deeper connection and hes been waiting for it but it seems like the girl doesnt really want that because she cant stand his deep loving ways.

come to me and I'll tell you the story of how I became the way that I became set aside all the things that youve heard in the past have reasons but I'm still the same. light my way back home cause I'm feeling so alone

THe first 4 of these 5 verses show his desire to open up to her and express all of his feelings and the last verse shows that he feels alone in the relationship due to the fact that she cares little for his feelings

then theres you, I'm tired of waiting when are you coming back, coming to me?

these last two verses seem to follow be following the break up, cause in the beginning he asked if shed be comming back to him, but she apparently hasnt.

i totally agree with theformatlove beauty in the breakdown is better but this song is still amazinngg, i love everything about it

This song means so much to me. It's my favourite, hands down. Especially the line; 'and I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to let go of the things that I love way too much' This song made me realise that I couldn't force myself to try and enjoy something I wasn't enjoying, so I packed up and left uni.

well, since I'm a big fans of a book titled "Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger, I'm 99% sure this is a song inspired by that book...

Great song, though.

anyway, "time traveler's wife" is about love story between a woman and a man who's a time traveler. The saddest part of the story is that man can't control his "gift" of travelling time and place. You got what I mean? He could just gone in a blink of eye, even when they're holding hands together.

This inability, and the disappear of the man in a long long time, made the woman sad. Very very sad.

A beautiful love story, indeed.

"I'll approach you and wait, it's been several weeks coming and I'd give it up, give it away to be able to tell you how I really feel and how I'd give it up to hear you say cause were counting the seconds and minutes weve spent here"

Every minute counts for them.

"come to me and I'll tell you the story of how I became the way that I became set aside all the things that youve heard in the past have reasons but I'm still the same."

In this story, sometimes the man that later approach the woman, is a man from the past, that didn't know anything about the life of the woman he was leaving all along.

Wow! I like the whole inspired by a the book thing... cuz I really don't think its about the gilr not wanting to be with him. I think the book thing? BAM! Got it just right! But Scene Aesthetic is seriously soo awesome! And they're lyrics are wonderful
