we made it.
David Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Obviously words bleed
And stress can dye your hair
Silver, what is luxury
If you spend it, it's not fair

We don't argue like we used to
It used to be like every week
I don't really miss the old you
'Cause the new one's pretty sweet

And I can't explain the way it feels
To watch you grow head over heels
Into the one you weren't sure you'd be
It's crazy how we live our lives
We spent it all on borrowed time
Imagine that, now you're 18

I can't believe we madе it
Oh God, I thought I might lose you
Hang on to love, sin, and your youth
You thought that you'd nevеr be enough, enough
I can't believe we made it
Thank God that he didn't take you
It's hard but each breath's a breakthrough
Wake up, you take all the ups with the downs, downs, downs

And I don't think that anybody
Thought that we would make it this far
Ooh yeah
And even if they did
Then I don't think that they were thinkin' that hard

And I can't explain the way it feels
To watch you grow head over heels
Into the one you weren't sure you'd be
It's crazy how we live our lives
We spent it all on borrowed time
Imagine that, now you're 18

I can't believe we made it
Oh God, I thought I might lose you
Hang on to love, sin, and your youth
You thought that you'd never be enough, enough
I can't believe we made it
Thank God that he didn't take you
It's hard but each breath's a breakthrough
Wake up, you take all the ups with the downs, downs, downs

Time heals if you let it
Feel pain then forget it
It'll get easier and easier
And easier, oh
Time heals if you let it
Feel pain then forget it
It'll get easier and easier
And easier

I can't believe we made it
Oh God, I thought I might lose you
Hang on to love, sin, and your youth
You thought that you'd never be enough, enough
I can't believe we made it
Thank God that he didn't take you




It's hard but each breath's a breakthrough
Wake up, you take all the ups with the downs, downs, downs

This year marks 4 years since I lost my best friend and soulmate, Zak, due to cancer. He was the best person I knew. I loved him with my entire being. I love him still. I will never stop missing him. Before he died, he told me, “I’ll make it. We’ll both make it. You’ll see.”
It hurts more and more and more each time I remember the moment he said that to me.

“I can’t believe we made it, oh god I thought I might lose you.” We’re the words I wish I could say to him right now. I lost him. I miss him. I miss the way his eyes sparkled every time he was happy. I miss his smile that was brighter than a ray of sunshine. I miss his soft, golden hair. I miss his hugs. God I miss his hugs. He was the human definition of a teddy bear. His eyes were magnifying. They were the most unusual color of brown. He was beautiful, and kind, generous, funny, and most of all, he was full of love.

I miss you more than the stars and the sky, my boy.

I will love you for infinity.

May we meet again.

Thank you for being my friend
Goodbye.



@currrin

I listened to your song 「we made it」.
For me, who hated everything and wanted to run away from everything, I think this song saved me more than medicine.
Thank you for giving me courage when I almost lost sight of my reason to live.
I'm glad I met you.
Thank you for the wonderful song.
I will continue to support you.

I'm Japanese and I'm using a translator,
so I'm sorry for my poor English.
