Lyrics meaning

The speaker describes an intense, devoted love and promises to keep loving the other person more each day. The emotion grows from admiration into a sweeping declaration: this love seems to give the speakerโ€™s life its purpose, and they imagine staying together beyond any ordinary measure of time.

Several phrases make the devotion vivid. โ€œMy life will be in your keepingโ€ suggests trusting the beloved with oneโ€™s whole life, rather than literally handing it over. โ€œWaking, sleeping, laughing, weepingโ€ covers every state and mood, implying love that lasts through ordinary moments as well as happiness and sadness. โ€œFar beyond foreverโ€ is deliberate exaggeration: the speaker imagines a bond lasting longer than time itself.

The lyrics present love as joyful and certain, but their promises are so absolute that they can also sound idealized. โ€œNo one else could love you moreโ€ expresses confidence and exclusivity, while โ€œIโ€™ve never lived beforeโ€ may mean the speaker feels newly alive through love, not that they were literally unaware of life. The song leaves open whether this devotion is a realistic promise or the heightened language of someone overwhelmed by feeling.
