All the Lost Tomorrows
Malena Ernman Lyrics

It takes all my breath
Expressing that the topic of the singer's statement may be something overwhelming.

And all my strength to say
Emphasizing the effort that going into communicating whatever that may be.

What I´ll say now
Hints that what the singer is talking about hasn't been mentioned until now.

The word I could not imagine ever crossing my mind But It´s time
The artist is about to mention something that is foreign to her, the anticipation is building up.

I still remember Paris
The artist expresses nostalgia and talks about a past experience.

but the wind stole our voices
The singer indicates a disruptive occurrence after an utterance, which rendered their speaking abilities ineffective.

We laughed Begged the rain to never end and dared chase the storm Making foolish choices Always, you and I
The singer reminisces a youthful experience with a companion, which inclined toward adventurous, rather irrational behaviors.

Now there is no more laughter
After the last memory, the tone changes gradually to represent the current state, which is devoid of joy.

So I call on lost tomorrows To help me to say goodbye Praying they will be kind
The artist looks forward to the future and seeks its assistance in coping with the present by having a positive attitude towards what is yet to come.

Someday there inside your heart May you find joy in the memory Although I know now it wasn't meant to last
The artist, parting ways with a friend, wishes nothing but happiness for them, though the present relationship isn't a permanent one.

You and all, all the lost tomorrows Never will be mine
The singer loses hope and accepts that the future isn't theirs, as they accept the present for what it is and move on.

You and I Said goodbye To all the lost tomorrows That never will be mine
The concluding message, the last goodbye to what could be and what might have been.
