I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I don't want this moment
to ever end
Where everything's nothing
without you
I wait here forever just to
to see you smile
cause it's true
I am nothing without you
Through it all
I made my mistakes
I'll stumble and fall
but I mean these words
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
Thoughts read unspoken
forever and now
And pieces of memories
fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so
I won't let this go
Cause it's true
I am nothing without you
All the streets
where I walked alone
with nowhere to go
have come to an end
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
In front of your eyes
it falls from the skies
when you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes
it falls from the skies
when you just never know what you will find
What you will find
What you will find
What you will find
What you will find
I don't want this moment
to ever end
Where everything's nothing
without you
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
to ever end
Where everything's nothing
without you
I wait here forever just to
to see you smile
cause it's true
I am nothing without you
Through it all
I made my mistakes
I'll stumble and fall
but I mean these words
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
Thoughts read unspoken
forever and now
And pieces of memories
fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so
I won't let this go
Cause it's true
I am nothing without you
All the streets
where I walked alone
with nowhere to go
have come to an end
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
In front of your eyes
it falls from the skies
when you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes
it falls from the skies
when you just never know what you will find
What you will find
What you will find
What you will find
What you will find
I don't want this moment
to ever end
Where everything's nothing
without you
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go
I want you to know
with everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold onto this moment you know
Cause I bleed my heart out to show
that I won't let go

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
System
Mel And Kim

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
No, it's about a devotion to anything, anyone. Though devotion could easily be mistaken for obsession. It's easy to say that this song is about a boy or a girl, but this song is much more than that. It's about a life-changing moment, whether it be meeting the love of your life, gaining that one thing in your life that was missing, or memories.
"In front of your eyes it falls from the skies when you don't know what you're looking to find."
Myself, personally. It's me and my feelings right now. No matter what I'll love that boy with all my heart and all of me. Although things may not go my way, there is still no doubt in my mind that he loves me.
this song is so powerful. it explains how you feel when you were lonely and depressed all your life and then finally find that special person that cares for you and you cant imagine your life without them and never want this love to end.
in my opinion its the best song on the record.
First off i'd like to say this is one of my favorite songs of all time. After my breakup i gained new insight to what the song might mean.
The first lines of the song is very powerful. I think hes saying everything's nothing without you and i wouldn't have it any other way.
"Through it all, I made my mistakes I stumble and fall, but I mean these words
I want you to know With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul I'll hold on to this moment you know, as I bleed my heart out to show And I won't let go"
Even though they broke up or had a falling out because of his mistakes hes not going to give it up. Hes obviously remembering a moment in time where everything was perfect and hes not going to let it go.
"Thoughts read unspoken, forever in doubt Pieces of memories fall to the ground I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go 'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you"
I feel like the first line of this verse might mean that he said something to her over text or something and maybe forever in doubt means the girl is doubting it or the guy doubts if he got his point through. A very cryptic line indeed. Next he's reflecting on things (maybe qualities) that he didn't have so he want to try again knowing he needs those.
"All the streets where I walked alone, with nowhere to go I've come to an end"
The guy obviously is lonely and cant stand it anymore.
"In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies When you don't know what you're looking to find In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies When you just never know what you will find (what you will find)"
I think hes reflecting back on when they first got together. Maybe he wasn't looking for love but he found her. Or maybe he was upset or occupied with something or someone else in his life and she came in to make things better.
Overall i think this is a very powerful song and has more meaning than first meets the eye. (or rather, ear)
i love this song. it is def. one of the greatest love songs eva. my fav line is "I wait here forever just to to see you smile"
It's just how u feel about a person ..I met this girl her name was Heidy she was the girl of my dreams ...but i was too scared to tell her but then we became friends n then went our ways n then we stopped talking becuz of a stupid argument ... but hey things happen for a reason ..
ive loved this song ever since it played on gossip girl, season 1.. the episode where chuck and blair hooked up for the first time.

Wow! A love song by Sum 41!!!!!
As for the motivation behind it I would say it heavily entails Derycks love for Avril and how his days of loneliness are over and that now he's finally complete. Truely Touching . . .
yeah i agree with you this song is dedicated to avril lavigne <br /> they make a very good couple :)LOVE
I'm happy they weren't afraid to put a song like this. A great band matures even more with this CD. The lyrics are pretty straight forward...but still one of the best on the disc.
this is my song to my boyfriend of almost a year. it fits almost perfectly. i basically poured my hart out to him. and i will never let go. goddddd, i love derycks voice. this song is so great i have it on repeatttt 24/7. next album im buying, definitely!
