Lyrics meaning
The song presents love as a powerful partnership. The speaker feels amazed to have found someone and promises to stay through both good and bad times. The emotion grows from wonder and gratitude into confidence: together, the couple believes they can face whatever happens.
โParadiseโ suggests that being with this person feels almost perfect, while โbuild this dream togetherโ presents a shared future as something the couple can create through commitment. The image of the world falling apart is likely an exaggeration: outside problems may be serious, but the speaker believes their bond can endure them. โDonโt ever look backโ means to move forward without being held back by doubt or criticism.
The songโs certainty is romantic and emphatic, not necessarily a literal prediction that no obstacle could ever separate them. The repeated promise that nothing will stop the couple expresses hope and determination. The line about the world running out of lovers is deliberately extreme; it emphasizes that the speaker values this one relationship above the possibility of finding someone else. The lyrics leave open what challenges the couple may face, focusing instead on their faith in each other.
