Always

The speaker is addressing someone from a past relationship and promising that his feelings will last. He remembers their shared time, admits that writing about the person may be unwise, and accepts that they might be with someone else. The mood mixes longing and regret with reassurance: he does not want the connection to disappear, even if their lives change.

The idea that there will always be “space” for the two of them suggests an emotional place kept open for the other person, not necessarily a literal room. “I’m not a phase” means he wants his love to be taken seriously, rather than seen as a passing feeling. The memories of walking together and of arguing, lying, and making up show that their relationship included both tenderness and conflict.

The promise to remain “always” can sound comforting, but it also carries uncertainty. The speaker says he will give the other person time and space, yet he hopes things will stay the same and calls them “mine.” This could express patient, enduring affection; it could also reveal difficulty letting go. The lyrics leave open whether the promise is a healthy expression of devotion or an idealized way of holding on to a relationship that has changed.
