Lyrics meaning
The lyrics present a couple facing loneliness and hardship but finding strength in their relationship. The mood is both vulnerable and determined: the speakers recognize sadness and danger around them, then insist that their love gives them a reason to keep going. As the song develops, their confidence grows into a promise to stay together, though the repeated fear of hearing โgoodbyeโ suggests that separation still worries them.
โShadows fallingโ and being โout on the streetโ create an image of a lonely, uncertain world. The claim that loneliness or being โout in the coldโ ought to be illegal is not literal; it expresses how unfair and painful isolation feels. Their love will โclimb any mountain,โ a familiar metaphor for overcoming obstacles, while โa highway to the skyโ suggests a route toward something hopeful or almost limitless.
The repeated statement that they have โnothing to be guilty ofโ sounds like a defense of their love, as if someone might question or judge it. Yet the lyrics do not explain why guilt would be expected, so the reason remains open. The song can be heard simply as a joyful celebration of devotion, but its pleas not to say goodbye add a hint of insecurity beneath the bold declarations.
