Lyrics

So far away

This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left

I love this request for forgiveness and grace. We all make mistakes. The first verse also suggests that the goodbye and physical distance between them provides needed perspective.

That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me and you’ll never go

This power ballad gets straight to the point, if you love someone, tell them.

Musically, the feel-good love song checks all the boxes; warm guitar riff intrigues right from the start, raw and emotional vocals, pulsing rhythm that takes the listener on the same journey with the band.

The song is about the hope that comes from being in love.

Lyrics

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you I’d withstand
All of it to hold your hand

I’d give it all, I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up

Some say that finding hope in a relationship can be based on whether both partners want the same thing, have the energy to repair and recommit, and are willing to move forward as partners.

Here are some tips that may help:

• Be honest

  Talk to your partner about your concerns and let them know how seriously you take issues.

• Make an effort

  Try to notice the things your partner does right, have fun together, and build intimacy. You can also try showing affection, making time for alone time and date nights, and trying something new.

• Lead with love

  Protect each other emotionally and physically, and don't wait for your partner to go first.

• Practice self-care

  Be patient and kind to yourself, and surround yourself with people who can relate to you and boost you up

Keep breathing ‘cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go

Beautiful lyrics; “keep breathing, hold on to me, never let me go”. The pleading in the singers’ voice is palpable.

Expressing our commitment can be simple. We can show respect to our sweetheart in every moment. We can show support now and in the future.

Think about this…

What have you done lately to build hope in your relationship?

When you reflect on your time together, what are some of the toughest moments that you’ve endured together?

Pay attention to something your sweetheart does or says today; something that is really important to them. Tomorrow bring it up again in a way that shows them, “what is important to you, is also important to me”.

Key Take Aways

• Offer patience, forgiveness and grace

• Lead with love and show effort to build intimacy

• Express commitment

• Practice self-care, one person cannot fulfill every need on every day
