Christina Perri A Thousand Years Lyrics Video Download
Kandy Swartzel
This is beyond beautiful. I have never seen any of the Twilight films so any meaning regarding that is lost on me but this is the most incredible love song I have heard in so long. The chorus is so powerful...
I have died everyday waiting for youDarling don't be afraidI have loved you for a thousand yearsI'll love you for a thousand moreAll along I believed I would find youTime has brought your heart to meI have loved you for a thousand yearsI'll love you for a thousand more
That depth of feeling is incredible and so rare, I could listen to this song all day and still be amazed by it. Well done Christina and thank you for giving me the words to tell my soulmate how I feel.
Verse 1: She has loved this guy for awhile, but never told him. Her heart beats fast when she's around him, she has so much "colours' or the joys of living and being alive, that she wants to share with him, so many promises that she wants to make, but she's too afraid of "to fall" perhaps that he doesn't return her love, that she can't tell him. But he's standing all alone and she sees her opportunity. All her doubt goes away--she must tell him. She takes a step closer to him.
The chorus is her confession that she loves him. She's died every day waiting for him--it's painful to always see him and want to tell him how she feels, but not be able to. She keeps waiting for him to make the first move, but he won't. She tells him not to be afraid--she doesn't want to scare him away--but she's loved him for a thousand years--it feels that way to her, at least--and will continue to love him for a thousand more.
The second verse is back before she confessed, while she is still going toward him. Time stands still for a moment, a beautiful moment as she reaches him. She's going to be brave and tell him how she feels, she won't let fear or anything else take this away from her. Every breath, every hour she has spent waiting for him has come to this one moment. She takes one more step forward.
I believe at this point he tells her that he loves her too, and she just wells up with emotion. All along she knew that she would "find" him, or that he would finally know how she felt. Time brought "heart" to her, meaning that her feelings grew and developed until she was ready to tell him. She repeats that she has loved him for a long time and will continue to love him.
When I met her it was so natural, so easy, we had no problems getting close to each other. But when the time came to meet her family, her father and two brothers came out to meet me. I didn't even get to the house. They instantly disliked me because I'm a soldier and they know the sacrifices dating us entails, and don't want her going through it.
She said she was at the time afraid of getting this close because her last relationship ended so badly, and the lyrics "but watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow" reminds her of the day, in her words, "I watched you stand alone against 3 dudes who are bigger than you. The look on your face said you would die before you budged."
This may be a little obscure, but I am wondering if perhaps, like most people, she has dreamed of the perfect person and has fallen in love with this dream. Fear has kept her from falling in love because of worries that no one will measure up to what she has always hoped for. She then sees the epitamy of her dream in life and although hesitant, she "falls in love at first sight" Although she has loved this person for a thousand years in her dreams. She takes it slowly at first but learns that this is the person for her and that she has no need to be hesitant as she will never find out unless she takes a leap of faith.
The first part ... "Watching you stand alone" ... your fiance is waiting at the alter. You look into their eyes and see their love radiating from their face. Suddenly nothing else matters but standing by their side.
"One Step Closer" That feeling of joy and fear all rolled into one as you walk down that aisle toward your future. Tradition demands you walk slowly, but every step feels like an eternity and at this point it's taking everything you are not to run to them and fall into their arms.
"I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me" This is from the one who was waiting's perspective now. You are standing together now, holding hands. Time stands still. You're afraid, but you feel you've lived your whole life for this moment and you won't let that fear get in your way. You won't let anything keep you apart again.
Also, I have to say, even though I fully believe it is a wedding song, it really does work as a lullaby. My Mom always told me that after you have children, many love songs will suddenly feel like they were written especially for them, and she was so right.
To me, having not seen any of the Twilight movies, I interpret this song as a mother/child story. The feeling you get just before your baby is born. None of my children are born yet or even conceived, but I know I love them. It feels as though I already know them. It does feel as though I have loved them for a thousand years, and when I finally get to meet them, I'll love them for a thousand more. The "one step closer", to me, means one step closer to meeting my future babies. I know this must sound crazy, but my desire to have children is deeper than most people's.
Aside from the movie association, in real life this is likely about an experience known as the twin flames experience. Waiting and chasing because of the fear of feelings tied to the person directed to.
I guess the lyrics of this song is about a girl who is falling in love with a man. But she have lots of qualms probably because of all the failure she went through. But then she realize that this man is different from the rest. And now they are about to be united for a lifetime, she will fight for him, for she waited for him...and she will love him infinitely.
My relationship began online 9 years ago. He lived halfway across the world, and for many years, it was impossible for him to move here to be with me. We carried on an online romance for 6 years before he finally came here so we could be together. It's been three years since then, and today we live together and love each other more than ever.
So, I can take almost all of this song literally. "I have died every day waiting for you." I waited, and waited, for six years to meet the love of my life, with a lot of judgment and disapproval from the people around me...it was incredibly difficult, but I knew what I wanted. There was no one else. Never anyone else, for either of us. Sounds hard to believe, I know, and I can't explain why other than that we just KNEW, somehow, that we were meant for each other."All along, I believed I would find you." I did. He did, too. We always knew we would be together someday, whenever it was feasible.
"Time has brought your heart to me." It really did. After all that waiting, the time was worth it. Every day, every month, every year. Worth everything for what I have now. Anyway, that's my sentiment take on this song. It's beautiful.

Both my Bridal Party, along with the groomsmen, and myself will be walking down to A Thousand Years Part 2 by Christina Perri. However, I do not know when would the perfect time for me to walk out during it?
With not knowing how long the isle is and time it will take all bridal party members to make the walk...what about having your DJ create a special version with the first part without any lyrics for the bridal party..then transition to with lyrics for you to walk down the isle to...the beginning of the lyrics as the last of them reach the front, the lyrics would be cue for guests to stand, and you start down the isle on "watching you stand alone" as your looking down the isle at your groom standing there waiting for you...
