Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just hanging on to hope by a lose thread
Well it's never good, to try and play pretend.
But maybe what's broken, can start to shine.
And you'll find this time tomorrow.
We'll decide where it will all go in this life
They disappears, all the moments you held so dear.
Start keeping them close, waves comes and go.
And you'll find this time tomorrow.
We'll decide where it will all go, in this life.
Let it play out, I hope that the sun,
I hope that the sun, finds you now.
Let it play out, I hope that the sun
I hope that the sun, finds you now
And you'll find this time tomorrow,
We'll decide to look where it all go, in this life.

I remember hearing this song for the first time on One Tree Hill YEARS AGO (back when it was still on the air) I was 16, a junior in high school. I’m 25 now. Holy shit I’m old. I miss OTH so much!!

I’m the same age as you, 25 :) you are not old, you are incredibly young; despite how we both feel sometimes! Make the most of your youth.
Youth is wasted in the young, they say… prove them wrong 😌

I found this song a few months ago while I was randomly clicking through Youtube. I fell in love, since I have experienced exactly what this song stands for. I actually cried the first few times through. Now I'm doing a dance solo to this!

This song is amazing! It slows me down, keeps me away from world for a short period of time. And still reminds me of people, which will never come back.
Melissa Lee

This song makes me so nostalgic. Found it about 6 years ago when I was talking to the girl I soon fell in love with and am still in love with today. She left to travel the world last week and I’m just feeling all sad and sorry for myself listening to songs that remind me of her
