~~~Id Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with you by my side we'd never grow old.
Day turns to night as we gaze up at the stars.
No one could wake us from this perfect dream of ours
and when I hear our song,
a piece of me is gone.
Like another night when the world was in my hand
but when morning breaks its only another end.
and save you this letter for another day...another day.
Locked up my heart and I threw away the key.
So many promises that she could never keep
and when we were a thousand miles apart
I still saved a place for you inside my heart.
And when I hear our song, a piece of me is gone.
Like another night when the world was in my hand
but when morning breaks its only another end.
Again tonight I'll push all my dreams away,
and save you this letter for another day.
Its snowing now but I'm back here on our beach,
those summer nights are so out of reach.
Once upon a time we wrote our names in this sand.
Summer fades, life was so different then.
Like another night when the world was in my hand
but when morning breaks its only another end.
Again tonight I'll push all my dreams away,
and save you this letter for another day.
I lost myself in pictures of the way it used to be,
in the way she held me close and the dreams,
the dreams we used to dream.

Long rides home on these country side roads
Traveling on peaceful backroads with you, our love never fading
with you by my side we'd never grow old
With your constant presence, we believed we would stay forever young
Day turns to night as we gaze up at the stars
As time passes, we find solace in each other's company under the vast night sky
No one could wake us from this perfect dream of ours
Nothing could disrupt the euphoria we shared in our idealistic dream
and when I hear our song, a piece of me is gone
Every time our song plays, a part of my soul yearns for what we once had
Like another night when the world was in my hand
Reminiscing about a time when I felt invincible and had control over my destiny
but when morning breaks its only another end
Yet, when daylight arrives, it brings the realization that it was just another fleeting moment
Again tonight I'll push all my dreams away
Once more, I will suppress my aspirations and desires
and save you this letter for another day...another day
Preserving this unsent message for a future opportunity that may never come
Locked up my heart and I threw away the key
Guarding my heart and relinquishing any hope for unlocking its emotional depths
So many promises that she could never keep
She made countless commitments that she proved incapable of fulfilling
and when we were a thousand miles apart
Even when separated by immense distance
I still saved a place for you inside my heart
I reserved a special corner in my heart exclusively for you
Its snowing now but I'm back here on our beach
Although it is wintry outside, my thoughts transport me back to our cherished beach
those summer nights are so out of reach
Those idyllic summer nights now seem beyond our grasp
Once upon a time we wrote our names in this sand
Once, we left our mark in the sand, symbolizing our unity
Summer fades, life was so different then
Summer has faded away, and life has changed drastically since those carefree days
I lost myself in pictures of the way it used to be
I become immersed in memories of how perfect our past was
in the way she held me close and the dreams
Remembering the warmth of her embrace and the dreams we once shared
the dreams we used to dream
Recalling the aspirations and fantasies that occupied our minds
