For All We Know
Mehldau Brad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
The song For All We Know by Mehldau Brad is a beautiful expression of the uncertainty of life and love. The first verse talks about the possibility of never meeting again and the importance of making the current moment sweet. It is a powerful reminder to cherish the present, to hold on to every moment and make it count. The second verse is a metaphor that likens our brief existence to the fleeting ripples of a stream. It is a reflection on how we are here one moment and gone the next. The chorus repeats the central message that tomorrow may never come, and therefore, the only time we have is now. The last line is particularly poignant as it implies that we need to make the most of every moment, love deeply, live fully, and treasure each other.
The lyrics of For All We Know touch on universal themes of mortality, love, and the preciousness of life. It is a beautiful reminder to make every moment count, to cherish the people we love, and to live without regret. The song's poignancy is heightened by Brad's beautiful, emotive piano playing, which underscores the lyrics' depth and creates a profound emotional connection.
Line by Line Meaning
For all we know we may never meet again
We're unsure if we will have the opportunity to see each other again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
Let's enjoy this moment to the fullest before it ends
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
We will stay together until the very end of the night
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
I will offer my hand with my sincere love and affection
For all we know this may only be a dream
It's possible that all of this is just a fleeting fantasy
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
Our presence in each other's lives is brief and transient like a ripple in a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Let's express our love tonight, since we aren't certain about what tomorrow holds
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
The future is always uncertain and we can never predict what may happen
