Make Contact
Valiant Hearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The first time that I talked to you
I felt like I already knew that I′d known you all my life (my life)
So quickly I fell head over heels for you (over heels to you)
So sweet are the words that make our love ring true (our love ring true)
Our love ring true

Someday soon our fates will meet
I'd cross the ocean to sweep you off your feet (you off your feet)
And make your heart skip a beat
You′re the moon to my stars and we compliment each other perfectly (compliment each other perfectly)
All I want so make you happy

Believe me when I say that it's in
The past and I love you just the same (just the same)

I've been waiting for the day
Just to hold you and to say I′ll never let you slip away
Contemplating all the ways that our romance could take shape
I′ll always feel your heart from a world away

Think of everything that's happened just to bring us where we are
One step out of place and I might never have held you in my arms
I′ve gotta learn to be patient and let things go
All of the hurt is ancient, from here we grow

Believe me when I say that it's in
The past and I love you just the same

I′ve been waiting for the day
Just to hold you and to say I'll never let you slip away




Contemplating all the ways that our romance could take shape
I′ll always feel your heart from a world away

With this album they combined the stile frome the first and second album. The fast and nice sound from the first, and the lovely texts from the second. You guys are amazing. The vocals, the lyrics. Such a progress. Your songs are inspiring even if the lyrics sometimes let not show the reason or the meaning.
