Lyrics meaning
The speaker describes a love that continues despite separation. At first, the other person has gone away just when they were needed, and the speaker seems hurt but hopeful. The mood then becomes confident and joyful: the speaker expects a reunion and imagines the couple sharing a lasting bond.
โGo astrayโ means to wander or lose oneโs way; here, it suggests that peopleโs hearts or relationships can drift apart. โOpen up your eyesโ is not literal: it asks the loved one to recognize the speakerโs devotion. The image of love โburning strongโ conveys intense feeling, while โtwo hearts as oneโ presents the pair as deeply united.
The songโs repeated promises of endless love sound certain, but the lyrics also leave room for doubt. The other person has left, and the speaker says they will return, yet this may be a hope rather than a fact. So the song can be heard both as a celebration of lasting love and as a plea for someone to come back and choose the relationship again.
