UNTIL
Joydrop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering how the miracles got it right
I wish on every falling star and whisper your name
I'm hoping that you and I will always remain
Chorus
Times change so do we
Lovers become strangers building separate dreams
I've wished on every falling star
Hoping that you and I would always...remain
Chorus
Every waking hour every moment you're not here
Every forgotten promise reminds me
I won't forget your broken wings on that rainy day
I'd rather see you fly again than always remain
Chorus:
Until the joy drops again it won't be long...
Until the joy drops again stay strong remain
Until the joy drops again it won't be long...
The lyrics to Joydrop's song "Until" are a poignant representation of the struggles that come with maintaining a lasting relationship.

Half the time I wake at night
I often wake up in the middle of the night
Wondering how the miracles got it right
I wonder how some things in life seem to work out perfectly
I wish on every falling star and whisper your name
I make wishes and silently think of you
I'm hoping that you and I will always remain
I hope that we can stay together forever
Times change so do we
Things change, and so do people
Lovers become strangers building separate dreams
People who were once in love can become distant as they pursue different goals
Every waking hour every moment you're not here
I miss you every moment you're not with me
Every forgotten promise reminds me
Whenever I break a promise, I am reminded of broken promises from the past
I won't forget your broken wings on that rainy day
I still remember when you struggled and needed my help
I'd rather see you fly again than always remain
I would rather see you succeed on your own than be dependent on me forever
Until the joy drops again it won't be long...
It won't be long until I feel happy again
Until the joy drops again stay strong remain
Until I feel happy again, I need to stay strong and persevere
Until the joy drops again it won't be long...
I know that I will eventually feel happy again
