When We Are Together

The lyrics describe love as a feeling that gradually becomes clearer and more meaningful. The speaker recalls earlier uncertainty and mistakes, but now feels changed by a close relationship. The repeated refrain suggests strong emotional closeness: even when the two people are physically apart, the speaker feels their bond remains present.

Several images express this change. Calling the beloved “heaven” suggests comfort or wonder, while “spaceman in your shiny suit” gives the person an unusual, almost otherworldly quality. Love “placing a seed” and the beloved acting as the sun suggests that affection can grow when it receives care and attention. The brief meeting with a stranger—followed by apologies and recognition—may show how an ordinary moment can reveal a sense of shared humanity.

The lyrics do not explain exactly what the speaker’s earlier breath-holding means; it might suggest anxiety, caution, or simply a remembered phrase. Likewise, “no space in our hearts” is likely emotional rather than literal: distance does not weaken the connection. The song presents love as both personal and generous, but leaves open whether its intense language describes a lasting certainty or a powerful feeling in the moment.
