The Journey
Oliver Hartmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that I fell
I'm so scared you would change through seasons
Leaving wounds that won't heal
Soft be your wishper
That your love won't change
But words are forever make me fell so strange
How can we stay for this moment
And make it last
Cause maybe it's just an illusion
And I close my eyes for the journey
From future to past
Feeling so soft and warm
When I'm here by your side
I never do you harm no
So don't steal my pride
Staying as one frozen in time
Hold on forever and never melt the ice
How can we stay in this moment
And make it last
Cause maybe it's just an illusion
But I close my eyes for the journey from future to past
We're staying as one
Frozen in time
Hold on forever never melt the ice
How can we stay for this moment
And make it last
Cause maybe it's just an illusion
But I close my eyes for the journey from future to past...
From future to past
From future to past

So hard to explain the reasons
It's difficult to justify my emotions
The way that I fell
The way I feel for you
I'm so scared you would change through seasons
I'm afraid you might change over time
Leaving wounds that won't heal
Harm that would last forever
Soft be your wishper
Speak gently to me
That your love won't change
Assurance that your love is constant
But words are forever make me fell so strange
Words make me feel doubtful about your intentions
How can we stay for this moment
How can we continue to exist in this moment?
And make it last
And make it survive?
Cause maybe it's just an illusion
It could be a mirage, a facade
And I close my eyes for the journey from future to past
I'm unsure of the future and contemplating the past
Feeling so soft and warm
I feel comfortable and safe
When I'm here by your side
Being with you is comforting
I never do you harm no
I never intend to hurt you
So don't steal my pride
I don't want you to lessen my dignity
Staying as one frozen in time
Maintaining our bond, unchanging
Hold on forever and never melt the ice
Never letting go of our connection
From future to past
Reflecting on the past and anticipating the future
