Valentine
Seawaves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red roses are miles apart,
In love afar, I'm not alone
Joyous surprise, Deep in your eyes
As we write our cards, overseas

I won't let you go x 4

Our lost and love,

A devotion,
Float like a dove,
An emotion, A pen and paper
Inscribing love hearts
I'll see you later and dry your eyes

I won't let you go x 4

Overall Meaning

The song "Valentine" by Seawaves reflects on a long-distance relationship between the singer and their lover. Despite being miles apart and writing cards overseas, the singer finds comfort in knowing that they are not alone in love. The red roses serve as a symbol for the physical distance between them, yet the joyous surprise in each other's eyes brings a sense of hope and connection. The repeated line "I won't let you go" is a promise to hold onto their love and commitment to each other.

The second verse further emphasizes the power of their love, describing it as a devotion that floats like a dove. The use of a pen and paper to inscribe love hearts highlights the nostalgic and romantic nature of the relationship, as well as the importance of communication in sustaining it. The ending line "I'll see you later and dry your eyes" is a reassurance that they will be reunited and support each other through any hardship.
