Lyric discussion by BethGoth05 

Cover art for A Thousand Years lyrics by Christina Perri

To me, having not seen any of the Twilight movies, I interpret this song as a mother/child story. The feeling you get just before your baby is born. None of my children are born yet or even conceived, but I know I love them. It feels as though I already know them. It does feel as though I have loved them for a thousand years, and when I finally get to meet them, I'll love them for a thousand more. The "one step closer", to me, means one step closer to meeting my future babies. I know this must sound crazy, but my desire to have children is deeper than most people's.

My Interpretation

That is so beautiful :)

I know it was written specifically for the movies, but that is such a beautiful interpretation. I'm probably just going to only hear it from that perspective from now on, now that you've said that.

@BethGoth05 I agree with you!
