This Old Love
Lior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for direction
Mmm mm we've covered much ground
Thinking back to innocence
I can no longer connect
I don' t have a heart left to throw around
Oh, and time moves on like a train
Yeah, I still get a sad feeling inside to see the red tail lights wave goodbye
We'll grow old together
We'll grow old together
And this love will never
This old love will never die
Well money slips into your hands
And then slips out like it was sand
And those shoes that you could never seem to fill
I've chased so much and lost my way
Maybe a face for every day
That so casually slipped me by
Oh, time moves on like a train
That disappears into the night sky
Yeah, I still get that sad feelin' inside to see the red tail lights wave goodbye
We'll grow old together
We'll grow old together
And this love will never
This old love will never die
Morning comes
Sometimes with a smile
Sometimes with a frown
Yeah so I never want to worry
If you're gonna stay around
So let's grow old together
We'll grow old together
And this love will never
This old love will never die
Yes, yeah we're movin' on
Movin' right along

Yes, yeah we're movin' on
We're moving on, leaving the past behind us
Looking for direction
We're unsure of where to go next
Mmm mm we've covered much ground
We've been through a lot together
Thinking back to innocence
We're reminiscing about a time when things were simpler
I can no longer connect
I feel disconnected from my emotions
I don' t have a heart left to throw around
I've been hurt too many times and can't risk being hurt again
Oh, and time moves on like a train
Time passes quickly and irreversibly, like a train moving forward
That disappears into the night sky
Time fades away into the darkness of the unknown future
Yeah, I still get a sad feeling inside to see the red tail lights wave goodbye
I feel a tinge of sadness when things come to an end
Well money slips into your hands
Money comes and goes easily
And then slips out like it was sand
Money can be fleeting, like sand slipping through your fingers
And those shoes that you could never seem to fill
I've struggled to find fulfillment in my life
I've chased so much and lost my way
I've pursued many things but lost sight of what's truly important
Maybe a face for every day
I've encountered many people in my life but most of them were fleeting
That so casually slipped me by
These people and opportunities passed me by without much consequence
Morning comes
A new day begins
Sometimes with a smile
This new day can bring happiness
Sometimes with a frown
This new day can bring sadness
Yeah so I never want to worry
I don't want to worry about you leaving me
If you're gonna stay around
I hope you'll stay with me forever
So let's grow old together
Let's spend our lives with each other
Movin' right along
We'll continue down our path, wherever it leads us
And this love will never
Our love will always be
This old love will never die
Our love will stand the test of time
