Air
-ED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans
You
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
Chorus
That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
after all
We
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right
You didn't know
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight
Chorus
We were young
And your dreams took you places far from me
I was wrong
To believe
That you'd go
'Cause here you are
Chorus repeat

My dad introduced me to this album when I was a teenager. We listened to it on the car radio while he drove me everywhere. I reaped it from the cd and put it on my phone. It was an old thing, and i could barely fit all the songs, so it was the only music I had on it. When i was traveling and didn't have my CD player it was the only thing I could listen to off internet. I remember falling asleep to it on trains and buses. For me, it's an album about travels and home, and missing my father.
See you soon, Dad
