Instead of running fast into an engagement, he hast to go step by step, and with every step he gets a little closer to her:īut then when he is in her company, her beauty shocks him and he feels like time stops, and he feels he can be brave and give her his love unconditionally, because he acknowledges that all his life has been a preparation for this, that everything was meant to bring him to this point when he meets her at last, now his life has a meaning: He knows she is the one, but he has been hurt so much in the past that he needs time and must take things slowly. He has been in many other relationships before, and he has been hurt, so now he is afraid of giving his heart away once more, but when he sees how confident she is about this love, he gets inspiration from her and is not afraid anymore:īut he’s still a bit hesitant. He wasn’t looking for someone to love, he was looking for his other half, and now he knows she is the one: So, the story goes, he’s been hurting for years because he couldn’t find her. Then they will be reunited and love each other forever. This song expresses the feeling many people have that love is predestined: lovers are two halves born separate, and they won’t feel happy and complete until they find each other, and no other person can take that place in their hearts. I believed I would find you (past – would) I believe I will find you (present – will) He told me that he would tell me his secret

I WOULD FIND YOU= This WOULD is not a conditional, but the transferred past form of the future WILL: What he means is that everything that has happened to him in his life was somehow designed to make him meet her so they could love each other. HAS COME TO THIS= Was directed to this result. Since we can’t stop breathing, this expression really means “ every time all the time”. I HAVE DIED= (metaphor) I have suffered intensely (because I couldn’t find you)īREATH= /breθ/ The act of breathing respiration.ĮVERY BREATH means: Every time I breathe (every time I take air in and out my body). STAND ALONE= (metaphor) To face problems without help. it could mean "to fall in love", so he's afraid to fall in love why? Because he has suffered so much before, so we come back to the same problem anyway. In this case, he’s talking about love so “I’m afraid to fall” means “ I’m afraid I will love somebody but then they will hurt me and break my heart”. If you are in love, or you are afraid, your heart beats fast.įALL= (metaphor) If you “fall”, you have a serious problem in your life that emotionally hurts you. BEATS= When the heart beats, it makes a sudden contraction to bump blood.
