Strange Days
Oh Snap It's Luke! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sudden leap through the clouds
I saw your face
A fairy tale with a distant end
A lover's heart never far from your grace
Let's run away, take a chance
Follow the stars in your eyes to a world so far from this A fairy tale with a hidden end
Just a boy till the day I felt your kiss
A memory fading from your mind
You sit and stare at the clouds but nothing breaks
A fairy tale of a different kind
A lover's heart falling far from your grace
No don't forget me

I felt my dreams on the wind again
I once again experienced my aspirations soaring unbounded
A sudden leap through the clouds
An abrupt fleeting movement amidst the white puffs up high
I saw your face
I laid eyes on your countenance
A fairy tale with a distant end
Our story, like a myth, has a far-off conclusion
A lover's heart never far from your grace
Your kindness always makes me feel close to your heart as your beloved
Let's run away, take a chance
We should elope, seize the opportunity to find something new
Follow the stars in your eyes to a world so far from this
Pursue the dreams you hold dear, which would take you away from this reality
A fairy tale with a hidden end
The unsaid conclusion of our fairytale has a concealed meaning
Just a boy till the day I felt your kiss
Before experiencing your kiss, I was just a boy
No don't forget me
Please, don't let me be forgotten
A memory fading from your mind
The past moments with me, gradually disappearing from your thoughts
You sit and stare at the clouds but nothing breaks
You are lost in your thoughts, but no sudden realization dawns on you
A fairy tale of a different kind
Our love story, unique and distinctive from others
A lover's heart falling far from your grace
My affectionate heart seems to drift away from your kind attitude
No don't forget me
Once again, please don't let me be forgotten
