Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time since, I've seen your face
We both got older, still we haven't changed
I still remember the promises we made
I'd always love you even miles away

Oh, we never found the perfect time or place
That doesn't mean we won't find it someway
You in my sweater in the pouring rain

I think I love you more than yesterday

Hold your breath, darling, swim to shore
I'll tread the water in that heart of yours
And when it storms, we'll sail right through the waves
I love you more than yesterday

I love you more than yesterday
I love you more than yesterday

Hey there, darling, come sit by my side
Done plenty living, but it don't feel right
Your love, your touch, those summer nights
Where we came close to giving this a try

But no, we never found the perfect time or place
That doesn't mean we won't find it someway
You in my sweater in the pouring rain
I think I love you more than yesterday

Hold your breath sdarling, swim to shore
I'll tread the water in that heart of yours
And when it storms, we'll sail right through the waves
I love you more than yesterday

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I love you more than yesterday
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I love you more than yesterday

Hold your breath, darling, swim to shore (whoa)
I'll tread the water in that heart of yours (whoa)

And when it storms, we'll sail right through the waves
I love you more than yesterday

It's been a long time since, I've seen your face
It has been a significant amount of time since I last saw your face

We both got older, still we haven't changed
Despite growing older, we have remained the same

I still remember the promises we made
I have not forgotten the promises we made

I'd always love you even miles away

Oh, we never found the perfect time or place
We have never come across the ideal moment or location

You wearing my sweater in the midst of heavy rain

Keep holding your breath, my dear, and swim towards safety

Hey there, darling, come sit by my side
Hello, my love, please come and join me beside

Done plenty living, but it don't feel right

Your love, your touch, those summer nights
Your love, your touch, and those warm summer evenings

Where we came close to giving this a try
When we almost gave our relationship a chance

But no, we never found the perfect time or place
However, we were never able to find the ideal moment or location

Nevertheless, it does not mean we cannot discover it somehow

Hold your breath, darling, swim to shore
Keep holding your breath, my dear, and swim towards safety

Keep holding your breath, my dear, and swim towards safety (expressing an intensified emotion)

I'll tread the water in that heart of yours (whoa)
I will navigate the emotional depths within your heart (expressing an intensified emotion)

And when it storms, we'll sail right through the waves
Even during turbulent times, we will smoothly navigate the challenges

I love you more than yesterday
My love for you has increased compared to the previous day
