Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I know is right and true
What I don't know I'm sure I feel
Right now with you
When the world comes to an end
I will have loved you
For a long time
When I saw your slight smile
I wanted to know you
Until the day that I die
I am in love with you
When the world comes to an end
I will have loved you
For a long time
For a long time
When the world comes to an end
I will have loved you
For a long time
For a long time

The singer acknowledges that they are not entirely certain of what they know, but they are sure of their deep feelings for the person they are with. The song reflects on the inevitability of the world's end, but instead of fear or lament, the singer finds solace in their love for the other person, which will survive until the end of time. The lyrics also express the desire to know the person more intimately, to be with them until the day they die. It's a tender reflection on life's limitations, but also the power of connection and the joy of loving someone.

I'm not sure I know
I am uncertain about my knowledge
What I know is right and true
I have confidence in the accuracy of what I know

For a long time
Over an extended period
When I saw your slight smile
Upon observing your small grin
I wanted to know you
I became interested in learning more about you
Until the day that I die
For the duration of my life
I am in love with you
I have strong romantic feelings for you
