Song meaning of A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Ah, the hauntingly beautiful ballad of "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Let's dive into the deep, emotional abyss of this lyrical masterpiece. Basically, Ms. Perri is all like, "Hey there, babe. My heart's racin' and I'm scared as hell, but I'm willing to take the plunge because you're standing there looking hella fine." She's been waiting a freaking eternity for this person, dying every day in anticipation, but honey, she's not giving up. Time has frozen, she's feeling brave, and nothing--and I mean NOTHING--is gonna get in her way. Every breath, every freaking hour has led to this moment. It's like the Olympics of love, people. So step closer, one step at a time, because she's loved you for a thousand years and she's ready to love you for a thousand more. And to top it all off, she's got so much faith that she'd even believe Time would deliver your heart to her doorstep. Now that's some serious dedication. So buckle up, lovebirds, because this song is the perfect accompaniment to your everlasting, otherworldly romance.
