Until
Jo Lawry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you love me?
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends.
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end.
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until...
One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery.

In the moonlight when everything's shadows
You'll feel as if you've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history.

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends.

Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

Oh if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim




Until the time that time stands still
Until...

Line by Line Meaning

If I caught the world in a bottle
If I had complete control over the world


And everything was still beneath the moon
And everything was quiet under the moonlight


Without your love would it shine for me?
Would life hold meaning without your love?


If I was smart as Aristotle
If I were the most intelligent person ever


And understood the rings around the moon
And understood the mysteries of the cosmos


What would it all matter if you love me?
What would all accomplishments matter without your love?


Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With you, everything is peaceful and still


With a million dreams to fulfill
With endless possibilities and dreams to achieve


And a matter of moments until the dancing ends.
But those moments are fleeting, and the happiness might end soon.

I would have no fears if I'm with you


Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end.
The only fear is when the happiness is about to end.


If I caught the world in an hourglass
If I had absolute power over time


Saddled up the moon so we could ride
And could use it to explore the unknown


Until the stars grew dim
Until the end of time itself


Until...
Until the final moment, whenever that may be


One day you'll meet a stranger
Someday, you'll have a chance encounter with someone new


And all the noise is silenced in the room
And all other sounds fade into the background


You'll feel that you're close to some mystery.
You will feel a deep connection with this person, and it will be both exciting and mysterious


In the moonlight when everything's shadows
Under the mystical light of the moon's shadows


You'll feel as if you've known her all your life
You will feel an immediate connection with this person, as if you've known them all your life.


The world's oldest lesson in history.
The oldest lesson in the world is the power of human connection.
