Forever With You
The Jets Lyrics

Here, my dearest friend
Starting off, the singer is addressing someone close to them, maybe a friend, someone they feel a deep connection to. They have an important message to share with them.

Won't you take this with you to the end
The message is something the singer wants to pass on to the friend that is important enough to stick with them through all of life's challenges.

When all your weapons fail
The singer is acknowledging that the friend has tried everything to overcome an obstacle, but has not succeeded.

And there's no crew left to sail
The metaphorical use of a crew is to indicate that the friend has no support and feels all alone in their struggle.

Just climb the mast
The singer advises the friend to take a higher perspective, to look down and try to gain a broader understanding of the situation.

And bring your best disguise, screaming
The singer is asking the friend to find a way to keep fighting, even if it means hiding their true feelings or intentions. ‘Screaming’ is to say that the friend should remain fierce and strong even in the face of adversity.

We won't surrender, we won't surrender
Here, the singer is using repetition to emphasize the point that giving up is not an option. The friend should not give in and always be ready to adapt.

We won't surrender here, we have no fear
The friend has nothing to fear if they hold on to their hope and determination.

And when all of your dreams
This line is referring to the friend's aspirations that they had prior to the challenge.

Go belly up
Their aspirations have failed, their dreams have come crashing down.

It seems that you, you took a hit
The friend is hurt, the singer is acknowledging this.

And it's time to cash in all your chips
The friend has no more chances, they have to make it happen this time, use all their resources to overcome the challenge.

So keep your fingers crossed
The singer is suggesting optimism in the situation, to hold on to hope.

And linger on, screaming
The singer asks the friend to hold on tightly and again, show strength even in hopeless situations.

When it feels like
The next few lines indicate that, to the friend, it feels like there is nowhere to go, nothing is working, and there is no hope of change.

There's no hope
As mentioned before, the friend has been defeated and has no faith in the future.

And there's no place
The singer recognizes that the friend has lost direction, they do not know where to go from here.

Left to flow
The friend is stuck, they cannot move forward, and they have lost the ability to move with the flow of life.

When you're thrown to the air
Finally, the singer is describing a situation that is volatile, something that has been thrown to the wind, a dangerous place to be in.

On a wing and a prayer
The friend is relying on nothing but faith to overcome the challenge, a difficult place to be in.

You must grab it and keep it
The singer is saying that the friend must grasp at every opportunity to rise above the challenge, they must fight for their life.

With you, with you, keep it with you, with you
The singer is asking the friend to hold on to the hope, the faith, and the strength, and to never let go. This is a powerful reminder that they must always remember to be strong.
