Lifetime
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every second we spend I am living again
Words can't contain what's in our eyes
Time runs fast cause the close will begin
We get lost in the space
Feel our hearts race
It's OK as long as we're together
We can live a lifetime in one night
Hold my hand and never leave my side
I will never forget you till I die
We can live a lifetime, a lifetime in one night
Yeahhh
Yeahhh
We can live a lifetime, a lifetime in one night
Eventually everything must come to end
From the moment we kissed
Hey, I already miss you
Now is our chance to begin
Baby, let's not wait
We can live a lifetime in one night
Hold my hand and never leave my side
I will never forget you till I die
We can live a lifetime, a lifetime in one night
Yeahhh
Yeahhh
We can live a lifetime, a lifetime in one night
In one night, in one night
We can live a lifetime, a lifetime in one night
In one night, in one night
A lifetime, a lifetime in one night
The lyrics of Tiësto's song "Lifetime" convey a sense of intense and immediate love between two individuals, capturing the idea that their connection feels as if they were meant to be together from the moment they were born. The line "Love seems like we were born tonight" suggests that their love has a timeless quality, as if it has always existed and is finally being realized in this present moment.
The lyrics also highlight the strong emotional impact the relationship has on them. The phrase "Every second we spend I am living again" implies that being with the other person rejuvenates their spirits, giving them a renewed sense of purpose and joy. Words are deemed insufficient to fully describe the depth of their emotions, as "Words can't contain what's in our eyes." This emphasizes the power of the non-verbal connection they have, where their feelings are conveyed through their shared glances and unspoken understanding.
The song explores the notion that time seems to speed up when they are together, as "Time runs fast cause the close will begin." This can be interpreted as suggesting that their moments together are so precious and meaningful that time seems to fly by. They become lost in their own little world, where their hearts race with excitement and love. The lyrics express the sentiment that as long as they're together, everything will be alright, as indicated by the lines "It's OK as long as we're together."
The chorus emphasizes the intensity and significance of their relationship, asserting that they can experience a lifetime's worth of love and memories in just one night. It symbolizes the idea that their connection is so powerful and all-encompassing that it transcends time. Even though they are aware that eventually everything must come to an end, they choose to focus on the present and seize the opportunity to begin their love story, rather than waiting. The line "Now is our chance to begin" suggests a sense of urgency and a determination to make the most of the time they have together.
Overall, Tiësto's "Lifetime" captures the intoxicating feeling of an instant and profound connection between two people, highlighting the transformative power of love and the ability for a single night to hold a lifetime's worth of emotional experiences.
