Lyrics meaning
The speaker celebrates finding a loving partner after feeling that life and personal dreams had gone badly. The relationship brings renewed hope and a sense of belonging. The emotion moves from gratitude and excitement toward confidence: the couple expects to stay together and face difficulties as a team.
โBroken dreamsโ suggests hopes that have been damaged or abandoned, while the partnerโs affection helps the speaker recover emotionally. โUnder the sun or moonโ is an emphatic way of saying that nothingโnot any circumstance, day or nightโcan separate them. The repeated image of making plans and holding hands presents love as both closeness in the present and a shared future.
The lyrics sound certain that the relationship will last, but they also hint that it has faced trouble: the couple will โtry againโ and โmake amends,โ and others may think their love is wrong. The reasons for these difficulties are not explained, so the song leaves their situation open. Its promise of lasting happiness can be read as sincere hope rather than proof that the coupleโs problems are already solved.
