What do the first four lines mean? |
| | | English translation:a thousand miles..... | Explanation:
Typical song lyrics intentionally obscure so people will spend large amounts of time trying to decipher.... Considering that the song goes on like this "'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... Tonight," my guess would be that "fall into the sky" is to represent the distance between the lovers, "do you think time would pass by" is to represent the hope in finding her lover before it's too late. Or something like that. ;) |
