Forever Ago
hoogway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't
Don't go changing
You mean everything to me

And hope
You shine a light
That covers me
My love for you grows stronger when we are apart
My love for you grows stronger when we are apart
So set me apart

We can build our own family
One day, we will
But for now wait

So I'll share your time, for a time
As you travel the seas
As you travel
And it's hard, I know, it dont feel right when we are apart
But we will grow taller together
I'll be known by the strength of your heart
For my love for you grows stronger when we are apart
My love for you grows stronger when we are apart

It's hard
To let you go chasing your dreams
But I know
You will return back to me
So I'll wait here
With the love
That sets me apart

I've been waiting all this time
I miss you
I miss you
I've been waiting all this time
I kiss you
I kiss you

I've been waiting all this time
I miss you
I miss you
I've been waiting all this time
I kiss you




I kiss you
Forever ago

Hoogway has arrived with a blissful album “Forever Ago”. The Belgian artist has a tranquil and peaceful sound that’s characterised by soft guitars and mellow drum beats. Take a moment to appreciate the scenery - the colours and the smells - for this moment passes far too quickly, but the memories live forever 🌸

@MashMash

Tathya Amin well... or I m being negative or i m just a person filled with melancholia.
I kinda feel like some of these chill songs make me feel about an ideal of life (that I don’t know yet so I can t define it) i’ll never know, or reach it.
Guess i m strange...
