A Thousand Years

Christina Perri "A Thousand Years"

As I was listening to this song/watching the You.Tube video I realized that I have several "triggers" and become emotional for a variety of reasons... I do enjoy the words, the video, how it is all put together however... I can feel so happy for the wedding shown in clips, I LOVE candles so those clips are beautiful to me... I can feel sad/depressed because although I do use candles in good times they are also used in bad times or times of remembrance... The words themselves (and/or the emotion which the song is sung) can make me smile or make me want to cry... This song holds life, it holds death, it holds happiness, it holds want/yearning, it holds calmness, it holds joy, it holds sorrow... I have wanted various things in my 29plus years and yet I feel like I cannot reach so many, nor have I done much of anything that is considered an achievement of any sort - particularly recent years I have acquired an ability (or perhaps it was always there?) to drive people away, to make things worse, to no longer feel as though I am helping at all... I miss the ocean

Song Lyrics:
"A Thousand Years"

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
