After All

The lyrics describe two people who have separated or struggled but keep returning to each other. The speaker sees their reunion as meaningful, perhaps even destined. The mood moves from uncertainty and remembered distance toward confidence that their relationship can last, despite its difficult “stops and starts.”

“Every journey always brings me back to you” suggests that attempts to move on ultimately lead the speaker back to the same person. The phrase “stops and starts” means the relationship has not been smooth or continuous. Calling the pair “two angels” rescued from “the fall” presents their love as a source of comfort or rescue after hardship; it need not mean a literal fall.

The song treats lasting love as something that changes and grows rather than staying exactly as it was. Its claims that the couple are “meant to be” and will be together “forever” express strong hope, but the lyrics do not show what caused their troubles or prove that reunion is necessarily wise. The repeated returns may feel reassuring, yet they could also suggest a pattern the couple cannot break. Thus, the song can be heard as a celebration of enduring love, while leaving some uncertainty about whether their bond is destiny or simply a powerful attachment.
