Christina Perri – A Thousand Years lyrics
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to
be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching
you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step
closer

I have
died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting
for you
Darling don't be afraid I have
loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I
would find you

Time has brought your heart to me
I
have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have
died everyday waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

    You always have that one person that you love all your life and will for ever more years past that! No matter what they will always be in your heart and in your life. And one day we hope that they can become apart of that life we all want. A life of happiness and love. Being one, being whole with another person. Loving them even when all is lost.

    It sounds to me that a guy (or a girl but I'm using a guy) likes this girl and the guy finally had the courage to tell the girl. This for me explains most of the lines of the songs like the following: "one step closer", "but watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow", "i will be brave... " and many other moreee! And then the chorus, it's when he confesses how he truly loves the girl. And that he have been waiting for her to love him back even if it "kills" him inside.

    Ahm.
    For me its about a girl who is afraid of falling in love and afraid of being hurt.
    But when the guy showed her what a wonderful feeling to love some one freely. She stand up and face up her fears and love the guy. And she will do everything to make that guy happy. And she will not let anyone destroy their love to each other. And he will give anything to that guy even if it means waiting for the guy all her life. Cause her love wont fade away.

    It depends on what song version you listen to.

    If you listen to the one at the ending of Breaking Dawn where Bella lets Edward read her mind for the first time in the meadow, that starts
    'The day we met/Frozen I held my breath/right from the start/I knew I had found a home for my/heart beats fast/colors and promises/ect ect ect, you here the version where Christina and that other guy sing back and forth, it is a message from one to the other of their love for each other, for eternity. [Edward and Bella saying this makes sense.]

    If you listen to the version that goes 'Heartbeats fast/colors and promises/ straightaway, this version has only Perri. This is more of a message from her [Bella?] to her lover [Edward?], saying she's waited for him forever but has been afraid of the obstacles in their way sometimes. [Victoria and the Voltri?]

    I love this song, it makes me want to cry and my heart breaks whenever I listen to it and I'm only 11. I sing this all the time and I'm a huge fan of the hunger games and I think this song really ties in with that theme, you would know if you read the whole series and watched the movie like me. I love this song. It means she has loved someone for so long but the person that she loves hasn't relized that yet but then after a "thousand years" they finally find eachother and be together forever! :)

    The person in this song has been waiting all their life for someone, someone special, and they've never lost hope. They say they have loved them even before they seemed to meet them and they will love them forever. Also this is in Twilight, They have added extra words in though, this song appears when they get married and at the end, at the wedding this song has a very strong meaning, almost as if they are saying their wedding vows when it gets to the chorus. And at the end it has a very good meaning, a very good song for a finale. It also represents the length of their relationship, how Edward was lots of years old and still waiting, and finally Bella came along, she found out about his secret - but still loved him for it, she has been eternally faithful to Edward and him to her, Edward has made it his duty to protect her - How to be brave - about Bella, how she had to face up to every obstacle, how she had to brave. Also 'i will love you for a thousand more' relates to the movie, they can love each other forever and ever.

    This song is so beautiful.
    What it means thoght is part of what everyone is saying the first verse she means she wasnt sure at first if she really loved this person followed by how could she even doubt that she didn't second part he felt the same way but didn't know how to tell her. All in aall it means she waited for her true love till he was ready and she is letting him know how much she really does that her heart will always be his.

    Any one must really pray very hard every day and ask for the will of god whether he/she is the right person for you.
    Carefully examine the similarities, the differences between the two of you.
    Use all your senses and discern whether you truly belong together.
    In the end, two individuals will be united if they are really made for each other and have true love in their hearts.

    It may be about Bella and Edward, but it wouldn't go viral unless people could find their own personal story in it. I choose to take the thousand years literally. I know that past lives are fact. If you found a great love millennia ago, you'd be still pinning for that love right? Though you might be confused about what you are feeling. And when you found that person, you would suddenly understand why nobody else fit, and you certainly know that you will love them for another thousand.

    This song is about the eternal love of the girl for the guy and how she has waited for him from a very long time. She is ready to face all the obstacles in front of her for her love and needs to stand brave for it. She will love the guy till eternity and promises to never leave his side no matter what comes in there ways.

    At the beginning, when you love a person you feel that he/she is the person you want to spend your life with and when the time comes that you are far or away from them you realize that he/she is the person that you cannot live without. The description of love as well. I love this song for it is a song for people who met the person that they cannot live out.

    Wow. Must've taken a long time to light those candles.
    To me, this song speaks of true love and how wonderfully beautiful is. Every second, every minute you spend with out it, though it seems normal, is like a year compared to those spent with it. Every second is pure joy, every movement whispering of graceful happiness. Every minute when it is taken away is nothing but nothingness. All along, someone is waiting. Everyone is waiting. And when the time is right, when your destinies cross, time has brought it to you.

    I can relate with this song. I've loved him for a thousand years yet to find that he's not meant for me. Though he has not love me the way I have loved him I still love to love him for a thousand more. He means the world to me but I guess, were not destined. I hope to meet him again in our next life, to love him more.

    This song relates to everything I'm going through at the moment. I listen to this song on the radio and cry because it is so realistic. I has a friend named david and he thinks we are just friends but I want to be more than friends and I am willing to as long as it take because I really and truly love him with all my heart and waiting for him shows I really do love him! I may be young but your only young once and you only fall in love for the first time once! I love you david and I can't wait for you to find out! But I will.

    What this song means to me? Two people that have loved each other unconditionally for as long as they can remember. Beautiful, innocent love that can never be replaced or taken from them because they have what most people never get to experience in a lifetime. The kind of love you can grow old with. The kind of love everyone wishes for, dreams of, fantasizes about. It's not even the kind of love that scares you, it's the kind of love that you would do anything for without even having to think about it.

    I'm carrying on a relationship with someone I love so much, first love of my life. Recently we found out that he has prostate cancer. This song reminds me of him, as I should cherish what I have now and the choice of facing the problem together carrying on the relationship is the most precious thing I could ever have in my life. I love him forever n ever. Love you gac.

    The song is about a person who has waited for her lover and has gotten heartbroken for a thousand times as her daily hope failed her with her lover's absence. Every dawn renewed her hope and she has finally found her lover. At first, she gets scared of 'falling' in love, where her lover won't catch her but her confidence is regained to see him 'standing' firm. Then, She gives him the confidence in her old and immortal love.

    This song speaks to the fragility of lovers lost in time. In a thousand year twist on Romeo and Juliet, Perri, or ‘Juliet’ for argument’s sake, has died, passed on in time, literally killed herself day after day waiting to be with Romeo again in another life. No single lifetime lasts a thousand years and this is meant to allow the listener knowledge of life beyond - and what is most comforting from this message is that beyond life there is still love, and love worth waiting for.

    If there is one thing to learn from this song it is to make this life count, find love, embrace that love, and take it into your next life -because if you can’t, you’ll spend a thousand years moving forward just to go back.

    "A Thousand Years" - one of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard. The person in this song has been waiting all her life for someone, that very special someone... her soulmate. She imagines him, she dreams about him, and looks forward to the day she will meet him. Years go by, and everyday of waiting is like a slow death, but, hope keeps her wanting. And then. One day when she least expects it. It happens, he is standing right in front of her. Standing there alone, and her heart confirms her attraction, "IT'S HIM", the man she has been waiting for. She is cautious while approaching him, he's probably cautious himself, but, she reassures him, "Don't be afraid... it's ME, the one who has loved you ALL these years... seems like a thousand years, I have loved you before I even met you... and now "time" has brought you to me". This love goes on for a thousand more years! Fate wins. The end :)

    "i have loved you for a thousand years.. "
    Absolutely lovvve that line. Because she's finally found the one person that she knows she's been waiting on her whole life. When you find that, when you just know it's meant to be, you know you've loved this person your whole life and even longer than that.
    "every breath, every hour has come to this.. "
    Another of my favorite lines from this song. I'm a big believer in fate, destiny, meant to be, all that. And every little thing you do in your life, even every little breath you breathe, it all leads you to this one moment where you're right where you're supposed to be, with exactly who you're supposed to be with.

    This song is all about waiting for someone who left you and live you alone and now he loves someone new :(
    But then you really expecting that one day he will come back again and bring the joy of your life like before / he will replace the pain into happiness that you ever wished.
    Even you're not sure if he will come back again don't be afraid to wait him.
    Because it is more painful when the times come that you are ready to move on and then he is ready to come back. That's why waiting is not wrong. You just true to yourself.

    It's about watching her one step closer at time towards at you, with reasons to be bind with and love you forever as she carries the memories you both spent in years as well as the eagerness to spend more a-thousand-years with you.
    To my baby, I would really want to spend more a-thousand-years with you. Distance won't matter as long as your heart belongs to me. I love you babe! I dedicate this song to you.

    Darling, I have waited for so long for someone like you. The two of us knew we were meant for each other but we could not be together. The right person, the right place but the wrong time. I will always cherish the moments we spent together. Our beautiful ten months. I will wait for you to come back into my arms again. I am always here waiting for you, even if it's a thousand or million years. I will wait for you this life and the life after and forever. I love you and I still love you and I will always love you forever and after.

    This song is beautiful. I believe it speaks volumes beyond what most of us can say we have ever experienced. It's about a love that shakes you to your core, when you literally can't picture your life w/o that other person in it. How they make you want to be a better person. You look at them & see pure happiness. Time wraps around you both & just for a sheer moment, everything stands still.

    First of all I'm a guy. But this to me is the perfect representation of christ. He is referred to as the bridegroom and we, all of us, are referred to as his bride. His love is soo deep. Him saying "i have died everyday waiting for you" then him saying "i loved you for a thousand" "i love you for a thousand more. " who can say tht but the one who has unconditional love. "time has brought your heart to me," we live in time, but he lives outside of it and he has been waiting, for his bride to come to him. So good!

    True love has finally been found and I will always love you no matter what. I will be brave for you and always be there for you when you need me. I looked everywhere for someone to be with to cure this emptyness and I have finally found someone but now its not to cure the emptiness but its because I love you. I am one step closer to being with you for the rest of our lives. All you have to do is say yes to this one question: "will you marry me? "

    I Love this song. It touches my Heart. I cry tears of Joy when I hear it. It reminds me of my Dear Mother. She passed in December, 2019. I did not realize that there was nothing like a Mother's Love. It is so powerful. I felt like my Mom speaks to me as I listen to it, saying be Strong and hold on as She lived Her Life Loving me as well. Her Heart was just as the song says..Beauty is all She is. I will be Brave and understand that she is now in Heaven Above with Our God. I will Love Her for A Thousand Years and Love for A Thousand More.

    Every time I hear this song associated with "The Twilight Saga", I burst out in song and tears at the same time. The lyrics have such a strong meaning, my heart breaks and heals simultaneously. I'm a big, big fan of "Twilight". In fact, just today, I watched Eclipse once, "Breaking Dawn Part 2" once, and "Breaking Dawn Part 1" four times! I guess I just need to get a life! Whenever I see the ending montage in "Breaking Dawn Part 2", I sob. I even scared myself once, just because of how much I cried. I feel like I'm truly connected to the characters. It's like we have a bond. Whenever anyone tries to explain that the whole phenomenon is just a made-up, cheesy, sappy story, I just want to punch them right in the face. It feels like they just intensely insulted my family. My friends. Oh! By the way, I'm sorry this is really just a "Twilight" testimony, not a review on the meaning of this truly life-changing movie. I believe that this song perfectly sums up the 4 books, or 5 movies. It just amazingly describes the love and protection that Bella and Edward will give each other in their eternity together. "And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever" - Isabella Marie Swan Cullen.

    I think of my baby. And when she sing the first lyrics - I pictured at first, him being there with me and watching him take his first steps, remember those firsts for a mom being enthralled watching his every move, was blessed a I got those little moments with him, watched scared he'd get hurt by anything, even on his two legs stand on his own two feet, and ready to catch him at his every moment, wobbled all over the after He took steps and gave a big. I used to be happy so excited by the small things back I this days.

    This song means so much to me it is the song for me and my horse chi megwitch he was a gift from the most important people in my life and he means more then words can express, I have been to hell and back and this is my salvation "i have died everyday waiting for you darling don't be afraid i have loved you for a thousand years i love you for a thousand more" are the words I want to get tattooed on me with his name, I love him and my parents so much and I am eternally thankful. Everyone who is struggling please know things do get better, I promise you don't give up if I had commited suicide all the times I wanted to and vowed to chi megwitch wouldn't be my forever best friend and companion right now. Chi megwitch means "thank you" in aboriginal and my mom is 25% aboriginal and I am 12. 5% and that phrase has so much meaning behind it I cannot tell you how much it does and I will love not only chi megwitch for a thousand years but my parents too xoxo.

    I love this song sooo much it makes me want to cry, my heart aches when ever I listen to this. I love the part where it says "i haved died everyday waiting for darling don't be afraid i have loved for a thousand years i love you for a thousand more and all alond i believed i would find you time has brought your heart to me i have loved you for a thousand years i love you for a thousand more". That's my favorite part of the song. This song reminds me so much of the hunger games because when katniss and peeta are in the arena together, they stay with eachother and save eachother and they love eachother and even though katniss doesn't admit it, she loves peeta. I know what happens after that because I read the whole series but I'm not going to tell in case you are reading it. If your not reading it you should. It's a must read series and a must see movies.

    To me, this song gives you hope of finding that rare feeling of loving somebody as much as you can and realising that it is enough to last for the rest of your life together as lovers, partners and best friends. It is a gift you should cherish and I think that it is really romantic the way she conveys the heart's little deaths for explaining the way we feel love for another person and how the soul continues to love even when the heart stops beating, well after death. I hope we do have a soulmate in each life!

    To may 2, 2012 9: 17 it's about a person who has been waiting and loving another person for years and she is telling herself to be brave and not to be afraid to love. She is telling the person that she dies everyday inside her heart while waiting for him and telling him to not be afraid that she loves him. She knew one day she would find him and now she realized that time brought his heart to her. She is telling the person that she will love him forever.
    I actually agree with may 1, 2012 9: 10 am.
    Each sentence expresses the feeling entirely for your true love.
    Read each line, you'll realize that it has full of meaning.

    Well the meaning I get is that, her heart beasts fast when thinking of him, but she doesn't want to experience love just in case it does not work out and she end up falling.
    She has also waited for him, but does not want him to for get that she has never stopped loving him, and not to be afraid of losing her. Even if they do not get together she will love him for ages to come.
    She comes a couple steps closer to expressing her love, but is to afraid to fall, so she died inside waiting for him.

    A thousand years explains my relationship with my girlfriend. I love her so much and I always dedicate this song to her when it comes on the raio. I always text her when this song comes on and tell her a part of a lyric on this song.
    We broke up when this song was playing one night, and I couldn't stop thinking about her, so I texted her this song and at the end I said. "i have loved you for a thousand years, i love you a thousand more. "
    and after that we got back together.
    This song means the world to me and my girlfriend alexis.

    Met my first love when I was 14 and he was 15. Dated for 2 1/2 years. Went our seperate ways but always kept in touch. I married and had children. He never married and no children. I never stoped loving him. I went thru a rough divorce and while this was happening a friend of ours was killed and I called him up telloing him of the funeral arrangements. We met for the first time at the funeral home in 27 years, knowing that our dear friend mark had something to do with this. We started dating again and after 2 months moved in together. We lived we each other for 7 years and was married a year later. Then my love of my life was diagnosed with cancer. He died the following year. Chas will remain in my heart and will be the love of my life forever plus a thousand years.

    This song is about meeting your soulmate. Once you meet him/her you know by a look and if feels like you have waited forever and you will continue forever. It is about two hearts beating as one and becoming one mind. It is a about a special connection between a man and a woman that endures forever. It is about feeling broken with a gaping heart until you find that special one to fill it with love.

    The final judgment will begin. But god's love extends the time as much as he can.
    7. Somebody even denied the coming of the parousia itself: "they will say, 'where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation'. "(4) but peter pointed out their deliberate self-deception. This universe was created by god. Because this world has its beginning, it is rational to expect that it has its end. Even though this world is perfectly created, it changes and wears out little by little. Today many ecologists are predicting its tragic end. There are so many natural disasters, but there will be the divine intervention in the parousia when this old heaven and earth will be terminated: "but the day of the lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. "(10); "that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. "(12) therefore, we "look forward to a new heaven and a new earth. "(13).
    8. We may meet the parousia in our lifetime, or we will die before it. Either way, our present life will meet its end someday. On this last day of the year, we may think the last day of our life in this world. When would be our telos or eschaton(end)? What would be the right way to live our life? Some suggests the judgment of history. Yes, we need wisdom to view our present from the perspective of future, the ultimate future, the end of our life. It is called teleological thinking or eschatological perspective. Your life will be judged by your children and successors. However, even it is not the ultimate end. That day is called "the day of god"(12) or "the day of the lord,"(10) for it is the day when we will meet the lord. When we live with the consciousness of this day, we will be able to live our best life: "since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives. "(11); "so then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. "(14).
    9. The famous english preacher campbell morgan has lived everyday of his life to think the day of parousia: "to me the second coming is the perpetual light on the path which makes the present bearable. I never laid my head on my pillow without thinking that, maybe before the morning breaks, the final morning have dawned! I never begin my work without thinking that, perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin his own work… we are not looking for death, we are looking for him. " when we are looking for Jesus and his return everyday, it is to live a holy and godly life. Because Jesus is our way, truth, and life, our life to follow and concentrate in him will not make our life waste or wandering. Because we.
    The final judgment will begin. But god's love extends the time as much as he can.
    7. Somebody even denied the coming of the parousia itself: "they will say, 'where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation'. "(4) but peter pointed out their deliberate self-deception. This universe was created by god.

Some suggests the judgment of history. Yes, we need wisdom to view our present from the perspective of future, the ultimate future, the end of our life. It is called teleological thinking or eschatological perspective. Your life will be judged by your children and successors. However, even it is not the ultimate end. That day is called "the day of god"(12) or "the day of the lord,"(10) for it is the day when we will meet the lord.

    9. The famous english preacher campbell morgan has lived everyday of his life to think the day of parousia: "to me the second coming is the perpetual light on the path which makes the present bearable. I never laid my head on my pillow without thinking that, maybe before the morning breaks, the final morning have dawned! I never begin my work without thinking that, perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin his own work… we are not looking for death, we are looking for him. " when we are looking for Jesus and his return everyday, it is to live a holy and godly life. Because Jesus is our way, truth, and life, our life to follow and concentrate in him will not make our life waste or wandering. Because wethe final judgment will begin. But god's love extends the time as much as he can.
    7. Somebody even denied the coming of the parousia itself: "they will say, 'where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation'. "(4) but peter pointed out their deliberate self-deception. This universe was created by god. Because this world has its beginning, it is rational to expect that it has its end. Even though this world is perfectly created, it changes and wears out little by little. Today many ecologists are predicting its tragic end. There are so many natural disasters, but there will be the divine intervention in the parousia when this old heaven and earth will be terminated: "but the day of the lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. "(10); "that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. "(12) therefore, we "look forward to a new heaven and a new earth. "(13).

That day is called "the day of god"(12) or "the day of the lord,"(10) for it is the day when we will meet the lord. When we live with the consciousness of this day, we will be able to live our best life: "since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives. "(11); "so then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. "(14).
    9. The famous english preacher campbell morgan has lived everyday of his life to think the day of parousia: "to me the second coming is the perpetual light on the path which makes the present bearable. I never laid my head on my pillow without thinking that, maybe before the morning breaks, the final morning have dawned! I never begin my work without thinking that, perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin his own work… we are not looking for death, we are looking for him. " when we are looking for Jesus and his return everyday, it is to live a holy and godly life. Because Jesus is our way, truth, and life, our life to follow and concentrate in him will not make our life waste or wandering. Because we walk and run with looking the ultimate goal, we will not out of track or lose the right way.

    When and why does god feel a day like a thousand years? Usually time is felt longer when it is hard. Perhaps, the longest day for Jesus might be the day of crucifixion. A long night of suffering and 6 tormenting hours on the cross! It was followed by three more long days under the continuing punishment of death. When he was resurrected and accomplished the redemption of humanity, a new era was dawn to save the world. It is between his ascension and parousia (second coming). God limited the time of salvation when Jesus waits in heaven. When he returns, the time of salvation will end. On the other hand, church will suffer too much in this world if it is too long. Therefore, the moment of parousia will be decided by god for the best harmony.
    If we ask this question to god who operates this universe, what might be his answer? Might he feel this year 2006 shorter or longer than the other years? I do not know. But the bible gives a clue to understand his feeling of time here in V. 8: "do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. " to him, some day is like a thousand years, but some thousand years are like a day. We understand his feeling of time because we humans have a similar feeling, but a thousand years are too long for us humans to feel the same.

    We are on the last day of this year 2006. Some of you may feel that this year has passed so fast, while some of you feel differently that it was too long to pass. Even though it is same one year of 365 days to everybody, everybody feels it differently because everybody has different experience, such as happiness and difficulty, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, hope and despair in the days of this year.

    I'm 15. And four years ago I met my best friend named cody. This song means so much to me because this is how I felt about him. He loved me and I loved him. Cody was the person I could be myself around him. He just made me smile and his time ended so soon with me. He passed away ♥ now I pretend I'm talking to him just to get though the day.

    I think this song is about someone, guy or girl singing to their true love. They're telling them that they are perfect and they've been waiting for them all of their lives. They're saying that no matter what happens they will love them as much as they did when they were searching for them in their dreams and they shouldn't be afraid because they'll be in that person's arms at any time if they just trust their heart.

    My meaning of it: this girl[or guy] has been lonly for what seemed like a thousand years. But when the person takes one glimpse at its true solemate you get the feeling that life is worth living, you'd be anything a brother, sister, fiend, and one day lover, like gravity isn't holding you to earth that person is. And then be together for a thousand years. Don't be afraid of love it will find you maby not today, maby not a thousand years, it's when you decide to start looking forit.
    How it relates: I've dated this guy for 4 years[thousand], we love^ed eachother very much. We breakup. We don't know who or who. This girl told me that he is breaking up with me. I told her fine[i didn't believe her] she goes up to him and tells him that I'm breaking up with him and that I'm fine about it. We both find out but he's already been through the pain of believing her. He's mad at me because I dumped him and want him back 2 weeks later. I didn't know she told him that till people started flirting with him and hugging him. Of coarse I got mad and told them off then they tell me clara's lie. I love I'm. He's beautiful, strong, fast, kissable, and why I'm still here, he gets me throuh my life without shedding a tear, even though we broken up he will always be there for me! I love you michael ily.

    The love of your life is a heartbeat away after a long time of being apart from each other but the fear he/she feels is way too much. It talks about love which promises a lot of hope but which doubt brings down. It speaks of using all your courage to take chances with the one you love. It's also about being your love's strength, taking the temporary sacrifice of carrying the relationship while your loved-one develops certainty and trust that what you both have will be worth it and odd defying! :)

    Means her love is pure and unconditional, that it involves self assurance and hesitation at the same time. No matter what happens and no matter what she thinks at any moment, there is only 1 thing for sure, the feeling of knowing that they are meant for each other, since the first time she saw him, is ever strong & unchangeable. It is a moment that she has been waiting for ever and she is willing to go beyond the time she's given to love him with all her heart.

    Takahiro mitsuhashi: 'i have died everyday waiting for you'. Its been a month now since I haven't heard anything from you. I don't know what happen but I don't have any intensions to find it out coz I know how painful it is for me. I don't have any choice but I'm currently moving on now but the heartbreaking part of my day is, I always think and misses you at the end of the day. Whatever your reasons is, I know its for the better and for your family. I forgive you for causing me too much pain that I almost forget who I am. I know someday we'll bump into each other, I just hope by that time. I can say that I'm totally healed and I can just smile without pain behind it. Till we meet again tak. For the last time. I love you. And I miss you so bad.

    I love someone. I have for a very long time. He used to love me too, but things ended. What he doesn't know is that I regret how I ended things, and I have never stopped loving him. Everyday when he walks past me, I die again, knowing that I have loved him for the longest time. I know we'll get our second chance. There has to be a way. I won't give up just because of one mistake. I love him forever.

    For me, I guess. It is all about the feelings of a man for a woman. A man who keep his love for someone and maybe he keeps on waiting for that girl to come. He can wait or a thousand years. And that girl doesn't have an idea that the man had loved him for a thousand years even if they don't have relationship. Even though they don't have special relationship that connect them, seeing the girl will make the man happy. The man really waited for a long time for that girl to be with him and time has come and brought that girl wo him whom he loved for a thousand years.

Same for the guy, he dint want to let her go. Her love wont end foor him she finds time standong stll for them but only for a moment, waiting for him she died inside because she needs him by hersde, she loves him. Her being shy with love is just part of it. A thousand years of love and more is all she wants is all they want. At least that's what it means to me. And so much more.

    It means that your whole life you have been waiting for your soul mate and although you may have been in love and even married, your soul has always been waiting and searching for its counterpart, the one who completes you. And although you are so afraid to let yourself go, you can't help but surrender because you are no longer in control and you have to share how you feel. You're suddenly willing to risk it all just to be with this person you've held in your mind and your heart and your soul.

    This song reminds me of my relationship with a guy who goes to school at the naval academy which is 8 hours from where I live. I only get to see him for a few days every 3 months and its tough but I've been seeing him for over a year now and have waited this long I think we can get through anything. I care about him so much and would wait a thousand years for him :)

    It means it doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years -- we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.

    I think this is a wedding song. Two persons are telling their journey in love.
    The first stanza is a girl, saying that she's afraid to fall in love. But as she sees that he's with him through it all, she goes one step closer to be with him. The second verse is the guy. He is giving the assurance that whatever it takes, he will always be by her side. Then, they'll take one step closer, which is marriage. In the chorus, the two of them were saying that they have waited for each other to come to this, and they should not be afraid because they have loved each other for a thousand years. I super love this song!

    The first stanza- is like the bride marching in a wedding. With lines like "watching you stand alone(the groom at the end), all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow(wedding jitters), one step closer(she's walking).
    The chorus- it's like you were waiting for your one true love, but you "died everyday" because life weren't that good, till you met that person you were waiting for. And since you were waiting for your love(destiny?), it only rings true that you have loved him/her for a long time-you were just waiting to show it.
    The third one- it's again a wedding. In weddings-time stands still. It's you and him/her. Standing in front of me(vows). Every breath, every hour has come to this(well, it's the conclusion of your relationship anyway-the marriage/wedding).
    The fifth stanza- again the person believed that he/she will eventually find love, and after a long time-it was found(like destiny I guess).
    It's a romantic song really-it's kind of magical when you think about it, that someone is just meant for us, and someday we'll meet them and everything comes to place. And the bad things that happened becomes totally irrelevant. That's what love is supposed to be.

    It's about love, hope and happiness. No matter how man years go by you will always love that person. Even if you deny it! This song also fall in friendship if you have one friend that means the world to you but you travel to say high school and you gett seperated you will always be friends. Maybe not always together or getting along, but in friendship. If it is true friendship it will always pull through!

    It's like this girl is waiting for this guy for a long period of time and still willing to continue waiting though it took her a thousand years already. I believe there is a third party in this story, and that's the reason why this girl took that long for the man of her life. Whenever I sing it, I replace it with "days" instead of years to be realistic with my own life. I really love this song. It has a significance with where I'm coming from right now. -sairen24.

    The meaning of this song is about a girl who has waited what has seemed like forever for the one. She's afraid that he'll drop her- in a sense meaning dump her. But when she sees him at the altar, she knows that he's the one and that it's the right choice. She has made her decision. She has loved him for a thousand years and after this, she'll keep on loving him. The one step closer is the one step closer to her and her new life, her man, and colors and promises. It is a new beginning. A new beggining of another thousand years that he will love him. That is my opinion.

    That a person has waited for ever waiting for the true love. Possible going through all the heart break to the one that means everything to them. And they are finally moving one step closer and getting married. And plan on loving each other til the day they die. The way true love should be. Loving each other through everything the good and the bad. And always being there for each other. That's what I think the song means to me. And I want this to be played at my wedding.

    It means a love cannot be counted on how will you love a person for how many months or years, love is endless no limits, no numbers and most of all no other things can take it or change it. You love because your heart and mind wants you to love and you love because you know you'll be love in return. Even thought years passes by love cannot grow old or be weak. It grow strong and will last until the end of time and end of your precious life.

    A thousand years. It seems like she's waiting for the one that she loves for so long. And she's still waiting for him no matter what. Even if the boy loves another girl, she's still there. Hoping that they could be together. Someday. Or it may also mean that like us, we're all waiting for the right one to come along. Waiting as long as we can. Waiting while holding to our faith that he/she will come.

    To me. Its means that everyday you wake up next to nothing, next to an empty side. The rest of the day means nothing to you. You're alive but in the inside. You're really dead. And when you finally find the one. You're afraid to fall in love. But when you watch the person suffering just like you, all of you doubts suddenly goes away. And then you realize that you have "died everyday waiting for him/her" so you just let love bring you back to life.

    It is obvious that this song is very nice and the singer is so perfect for this song. Nice job. Well, for me the meaning of this song is "whatever consequences you have in your loved one it is still your heart longing only to him. Because he is the one that you ever love from the day you met even though he is not yours". Ahmm. I am not comparing this to edward and bella's movie as you will read this :)

    I love this song, it reminds me of myself and this guy I've liked for 4 years but I've never been able to tell him because he likes another girl who doesn't like him back and always puts him down, and everytime I see her reject him I feel like I die a little. Seriously though, it does feel like I've loved him for a thousand years and I'm still waiting for the right time to tell him I love him.

    This song really touches our hearts. It's about true love that knows no boundaries even time. I'm still young yet I've already fallen for someone. I know it isn't right to be with him so for so many years now I have kept all of my feelings within and never told him. I have loved him for so many years and still, i'll love him for a thousand more. I will not tire loving him, for that's what love really is, right? Though it pains being alone and waiting for him, i'll still love him no matter what. True love waits.

    Every time I hear this. It makes me so emotional, why? It is because, I never felt so glad about myself feeling the love of that special someone. Even though, the odds are against you. The song highlights the persistent and undying love of a lover to his special love one. P. S. (do not hate), I remember twilight, my love for edward. Which I know is impossible for him to know but this song, every line of it speaks what is in my heart for him.

    For me, this song means that if you really love a person, you will wait for the right time for the both of you to become happy together and if ever you are not really destined for each other, maybe, you just have to move on even though I know that it's just easy to say it but actually hard to do. For me, if you really love a person so much, you should learn to wait even though you don't know what's waiting for you in the future. Just pray to god and hope that he will answer your deepest prayers that comes from the bottom of your heart.

Also, you want to protect them no matter what and you want to love them forever and ever. Time is key in this song ;)

    Swan queen. Regina mills traveled to storybrook to find her happy ending, which she thinks is henry. But she's still not happy. Her happy ending is emma and henry together -a real family-. Emma and regina started off with a meet-cute (google it), so they're relationship is a little tense. With emma's walls and regina's emotionally unavailableness their relationship is having a little trouble right now. But with every episode we see a little more humaneness in regina, which has been more prevalent since emma arrived in storybrook. With every episode, they come one step closer to each other. They are both henry's mothers. Remember folks: true love breaks the curse. If emma has to break the curse, that makes her regina's true love. Graham didn't set the curse, regina did. Emma is the one to save her, and all of storybrook.

    I very love this song. I think I can relate. Here is why. I've met someone a long time ago. We knew we were in love with one another, but time isn't just right. We were very young and I know it's not the right time for love. Time came when he thought that I don't love him anymore. Our lives went on separate ways. Now that the time is right, I know our hearts will find way to meet again.

    A song that shows true meaning to love. How you would fight with anything or anyone just to be with the one you love. How the one you love shouldn't be afraid because you will never hurt them and because it was in your destiny to meet and fall in love and even in your past life you two were in love so you met in a new life and finally can be together yet again.

    It is for twilight: breaking dawn. It is about loving forever 'i have loved you for a thousand years i'll love you for a thousand more. ' like edward and bella will have to. It also is how bella is always in danger 'i have died everyday waiting for you. ' when she says 'one step closer. ' it's about how they are always that one step closer to what they want.

    According to the song and how christina describes it, it seems like she wasn't brave because she was afraid to fall but watching her loved one stand alone, her doubts suddenly go away and she is one step closer to loving him. She had died everyday waiting for him and also reassuring him that even though it's been a thousand years, she would still love him for a thousand years more.

    Even though this is a worldly song. I can't help myself but to think about jesus. Everytime I listen to this song I felt that jesus our god is singing this for me, for us. He had loved us for a thousand years from generation to generation. His love never changed. This is the meaning for me that he is waiting for us for a thousand years. That we will give our hearts and offer our lives to him. Glory to god!

    I believe the song "a thousand years" by christina perri, the way it translates to me, is that a girl has been waiting for true love- her one true love all her life- and she finally sees him. She knows even though she just met or saw him, it's him. He's finally here and she's always loved him because she knew she would. Now she can't wait to share that love and it's just blissful, pure, happiness. It's a gorgeous song, and it's very meaningful to me because that's how I know i'll feel when I find my "prince". It'll be just as beautiful and more, like this song.

    I'm jaded and bitter. I met a man at the worst time of my life. When my marriage to my high school sweetheart of 16 years died. Very bad and sad time for me. I've been spoiled by fate. I've had love at first sight. If I don't have that, it seems pointless to try. This man I've never met face to face, yet showed me that I can have a love in the likes I have never known. He has become the basis for the hero in my book where two lovers have loved each other through time. For over a thousand years. I cried when I heard this song.

    I think that the song tell us a story of a couple, in the song the girl loves the guy but she doesn't know if he feels the same way, and then she lives him but when he realizes that he loves her. He goes in a journey to find the love of his life (her). To find her he had to go through hell because she doesn't want to be found or disturbed by love never again. This journey is like the journey of death in a way because he doesn't know what will be there for him. But he goes through it anyways because it's better to have loved once than not to have loved at all.

    This is a great love story which time is not a subject to count on. The chorus shows that his love towards his lover will never fade even though it takes irrelevant period of time (which is too long) because their love is truly true. Now, the time have come for them to be officially bonding couple after all harsh ways they faced together to stand on their holy love. If my meaning is false, hope you will correct me.

    My boyfriend and I were "bestfriends" for a long time. We hookedup in between relationships but never really tried to be together. We were in love with eachother but I was too scared to take a chance. One night he said that we should stop trying to be together. The next day I canceled plans and drove to his house. We embraced and kissed. He asked me to be his girlfirend like it was the easiest question. True love serpassed time and space. I'm so lucky to have adam. This song is basicly the story of me and him.

    All about a girl who has loved a boy since so long before. She has been waiting for the guy to notice him but the guy seems so numb to. The girl got to the verge of giving him up but as she sees him alone, all her doubts fade and still longs for him. A girl that had been in love, in love, and will always be in love with the boy. She has loved him for a thousand years, indeed.

    "it's about finding that one special person you've been waiting for your entire life. It's about taking a leap of faith and loving them with everything you have left inside of you. It's about finding that person that gives your entire existence a new meaning... Through all the hurt, through all the pain, through good times and bad, you continue loving them because it's all you can give them... And you won't let anyone (or anything) get in the way of that.

    It's about finding that one special person you've been waiting for your entire life. It's about taking a leap of faith and loving them with everything you have left inside of you. It's about finding that person that gives your entire existence a new meaning. Through all the hurt, through all the pain, through good times and bad, you continue loving them because it's all you can give them. And you won't let anyone (or anything) get in the way of that.

    A thousand years is abought loving someone even though there heart belongs to someone else. Its painfull but loving them just gives you strength, and you know in your heart you will love them all your life because they were made for you, and you have waited for them. That one person that you want to wake up to in the morning. You love there annoying habits that no one else can stand and the crazy stupid things that get on everybody elses nerves but you just find cute>(:

    This song is about the waiting, going unoticed. Giving so much for a relationship that it kills you day by day because you recieve nothing in return for all your love. Its about watching them and knowing they wont love you the same way you love them. Its heart wrenching and exposes how girls in this situation feel. Waiting 1000 years for inevatably nothing, waisting time and dying day by day, but you love them so much you don't care, you just want to be part of there life and you set yourself aside for them.

    This song is about how she is so in love with this person, and that it feels like a thousand years she's waited so long for him. And that she is tentatively taking one step closer to him, even though she's afraid of rejection or afraid of even something good coming out of it. It's truly an amazing love story how she wouldn't leave him and how she would always be there. And that in the end, his heart was drawn to her and it worked out. And she had loved him for 'a thousand years' and she will love him for a 'thousand more'. -kx3.

    I love this song. When I first heard it when I was sitting in the car on the way to the mall and I was sitting next to my sister and she is going to college next year and we had just gotten in a huge fight. This song made me realize how much I love her and that I'm gonna miss her alot when she leaves. This song is the song I'm gonna sing to her when she is graduating from high school this july. Although I can't really sing I don't care becasue she will still hopefully get why I am singing it to her.

    I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions. Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites.
    The site that has the best deals is saveonbuycøm
    And I checked with the better business bureau and was told that it is all legit. How they can sell gift cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 loews gift cards for $48. Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?
    I want to write a book that a thousand years of love would not be end. Love these song.

    Umm well I think that once ue love a person so much ue would do anything just to get them. And when the phrase "i have died evryday waiting for you " it means they have been waiting for them forever and they would until they get them. This song means how one person can't lose the love they have for that person. They can't help but love do what ever they can to get their attention. Sometimes if ue love someone alot more they would take a bullet for him/her.

    When you're in love with someone, you wouldn't mind waiting for them no matter how long. They might not realize your existence but you know every single detail bout them. Even a random smile from them. You think they're everything good. You think about them all the time. Miss them all the time. You will try whatever ways to earn their attention. Even a purpose fall in front of them simply just to get the attention. You wouldn't mind if you don't get others cause the special someone's attention is all you want. Everything they do tickles a little bit in you. You fall harder for them every single day and totally drowned yourself. It's hard to live without them now. You get so in love and if they ever leave you, your heart would break into tiny little pieces.

    I think this song has a lot to do with loving someone even when you're away from them and not forgetting them at all but actually falling harder and faster for them as every day passes. I think it is a beautiful song about loving someone from one point. And then loving them forever. I love the line that says "how can i love when im afraid to fall but watching you stand alone all of my doubt suddenly does away somehow one step closer" I love how you can be totally afraid to fall in love but because you're so in love you aren't afraid no matter what happens. I think being in love means being afraid but loving inspite of that fear and never ever giving up.

    Well everyone said that love you for a thousand years is a lie. But sometimes it could be true. Like me. I'm waiting for someone just whole one years and still patient to wait him. And now almost 2 month I don't meet him but my heart still loyal to him and maybe forever long lasting in here. And I dedicate this song to you capital f or should I call you honey :)

    Its like something that makes my heart feel true love with someone I know I am bearing my soul too. Its so hard to love someone you know you might lose or can't have. This feeling of no gravity and passion will never go away. A thousand years of a lifetime being with the person you have been destined to be with your whole life. Something you can never let go of. No matter how hard you try. Something you don't want to let go of. Being able to wake up and your first though of being with them, being one step closer.

    I think it means that she loves him so much that she can't remember life without him and she will always love him. I think that she also is saying that she doesn't want him to be afraid of making a move. This could have been the first time she really has fallen for someone and she was unsure that she could ever feel that way untill he met him.

    We found each other. Somehow, time and again. We built a beautiful life together. Just the 3 of us, despite the many obstacles. It felt like a dream come true. But now, I have to let go of that dream, as you have walked on without me. But deep down, I feel we were meant to be. And despite the different paths we may both take, I know, deep down in my heart, somehow, I will love you for a thousand more.

    This song is so inspirational for those who have been through relationships, those who haven't even found their one true love. One day, when you find him/her, you will remember that each day "you've died everyday waiting for you". It might have seemed as if it had been forever since you've begun searching for that one special person; "i have loved you for a thousand years," and when you found them, "i love you for a thousand more. "
    Inspiration for love; continue on and follow your heart; when you fall in love, your second half has been restored in you and you will finally feel complete.

    It means so much to me in the way you have found your loved one even if you have not seen him in real life but you feel his presence everyday. One day. I will find my own prince. The one that has been in my dream. No matter how long it takes. A thousand years or even a thousand more. The one that loves you is he the one that we have loved for like a thousand years of worth waiting for.

    She use to fear falling for someone, but his face smiling down at hers makes her feel confident that they're right. He is her happiness, and she's one step closer to living happily. There may be another girl for him, but they'll never be another guy for her. She has and always will love him. Also, that she would've waited any amount of time for him, because he's definately worth it. :)

    Christina wrote this song specifically for edward and bella along with one of her songwriting pals after seeing a screening of breaking dawn pt. 1. It was chosen for the breaking dawn soundtrack because of its great accuracy on how edward feels about bella. Cold, hard facts, baby lol.
    Personally, I don't really like twilight, no offense. It's because I had this big crush on edward so I stopped reading the books once edward and bella really started getting serious. I know, I was such a jealous little teenager lol but this song makes me actually want to see the movie, solely for the purpose of hearing my idol's music on a famous movie. I scream every time I hear one of christina's songs on the radio or on tv. I'm so proud of her :)

    I hate this song is about a girl who likes a guy but can't really say how she feels about it. So what she does is sings a song and all her emotions are in it and she's happy about it. After she said song she says I really like you and I want you to feel the same way but it's ok if you don't. So with so when she hears what he says which might be have to write me a note her feelings are let out. But when the song is say being saying it is in twilight for Bella and Edward's wedding and it shows all of the years are going to be the other was just pretty much forever because are vampires is what I thought it was about.

    The Lady I am in love with, we have loved each other for since we were very young and finally found each other. The situation went south, based on me not being able to find employ after relocating to be with her. I had issues of the heart unresolved for years. I became closed and defensive, and lied and mentally cheated. I did not handle my leaving to find a job in another city, reassuring her that I still love her but needed to fix my heart so I could be the best man for her. I did a lot of work to correct the root causes of the issue, and have been working very hard to prove my love to her. We are soul mates and everyone makes mistakes.
    We are now talking again and working through the hurt I caused. It can be done if both parties are willing. We are deeply in love, as soul mates are. When I heard this song it tore me apart, the pain of feeling her pain that I caused, is extraordinarily deep. But to heal, that pain needs to be resolved, and released. But this is exactly how she feels to a degree. But the deep love will win. And I am never going to do the things I did before. Fixing my heart was painful. And will be worth it in the long run, now to make amends and help win her trust and love back is my only goal. I cannot live without my Mo Anam Cara.

    This song has a great melody, but as it was written for a movie, the author was forced to make the lyrics fit the plot of the movie. To me, the lyrics weaken what could have been an even more powerful song. They seem cliche and trite, but that's likely because that's what the filmmakers wanted. Even with the uninspired lyrics, though, the melody (especially the chorus) haunts. Not trying to be a buzz kill, that's just my humble opinion.

    For me this is a story of a girl waiting for the man she loved to love her back, as she saw the one she loved suffer, she can't bear it that she said she had died everyday waiting for him to stop doing this that would only hurt him. I really like this song coz it somehow strucks my heart, whenever I read a romantic novel I always listen to this song while reading, coz it lets me imagine or feel the sadness this song was portraying.

    For me, It means about a girl, walking a frozen path of Ice. Discovering what ' Love ' is, or what it means. She has been afraid of falling in love, scared to the heart. She's afraid because she might feel how feelings break, how hearts ache.
    It's just like she's been walking down that path for hours, days, weeks, months, and even Years. Years of suffering, and not feeling love. Until that time, she saw the one she has been waiting for her entire life. The guy who made her feel welcome, free, safe, and not heart broken.

Be strong never give up so that is love always be great always be comfident for everything until a boy likes you ;)

    It's the definition of mine and my husband's love. We both waited for love for three years. We didn't even know each other over those years, but we both waited to find love. We both promised that when we found it, it would be forever and that we didn't want to date anyone until we found true love. We found each other. We each found our truest love. We have ups and downs just like any other couple, but after 15 years we are still as in love, if not more so now. We loved each other for a thousand years before knowing one another and regardless of where life takes us, we'll love each other for a thousand more. Our kids ask us when and how we met and when I think back, I think and I tell them, "it was a moment. A moment in time when i knew daddy was the one i'd be forever with, even before we'd spoken. I was so nervous i couldn't even look at his face, i knew beyond a shadow of a doubt he was the one"

We will continue to fight for us.

    I met my husband later in life, but I had been waiting for him for "a thousand years" and always knew he would come some day. We overcame our fears and time stood still for all the years we had together. We were married for almost 20 years, when he passed away. Although he is gone, he will be with me forever and I will love him for "a thousand more".

    To me it means that throughout the ages and our various lifetimes, soulmates will always find their way to each other because they are destined by the heavens to be together always. No matter the hardship or difficulty each lifetime may present in finding the other, eventually soulmates will unite because their love is written indelibly in the stars yesterday, today and tomorrow. They have already loved each other over the course of many different lifetimes and will continue to do so for thousands more.

    To me it is about someone who has had some bad relationships in the past. They've spent a long time with the wrong person who makes them feel worthless and dead inside. Then one day they finally find 'the one', the one they've been waiting for a long time, the person they've dreampt of. They are scared that the past will repeat itself but as soon as they are with this person all doubt fades away & they feel safe & strong.

    Sometimes, we don't really know who we are suppose to be with until that time comes. This is that song, sometimes, we go through life and think we are with someone we are suppose to be with but deep inside, it feels different like there is something missing. And then one day, it just falls apart. I was like that. I was married for so many years and it fell apart because things just didn't mesh. There was always something that got in the way. Now, after what seems like forever, I think I finally met the person I'm suppose to be with. I know its not certain but life is about taking chances and I'm not going to stand around being afraid to love and show love. I will give more now and leave everything on the table. Life is too short to not live it. Live, love and laugh.

Now you are braver to take that one step closer for you believe that time has brought his heart to yours. You have waited a thousand years now you can love him for a thousand more.

    I think this song was in edward cullen's point of view, while bella was walking down the aisle. Since, edward is so old, it felt as if he'd been waiting one thousand years to find the person he was literally going to spend forever with. Also, if this song was meant to be in bella swan's point if view, then it would'nt have been sung as "beauty in all she is," unless, edward is a woman (which, I doubt). I like rhis song, but I don't really get tge "i will be brave," part of the song. He's getting married, not going into the war of something like that. Though, I'm sure that if I had to live with a person like bella swan, I'd have to be brave, too (she's to helpless, you have to be very tolerant abd valiant yo live with that.)

    From the moment I met my husband I knew it was meant to be. Time then stands still and depression slips into a normal and happy life. So throughout the past 24 years I have waited like it has been a thousand years of waiting and thinking I was one step closer. Instead I still wait and will wait for a thousand more. For I know I will find you, as I have loved you although at times it feels like I have died each day, whilst I wait. I love him today as I have loved him everyday and yet do I get one step closer.

    A thousand years has that unique and beautiful message to romance. I too, came from an old school of thought and I can truly relate to the lyrics of the special song. And in particular, this song is appropriate for such a movie the twilight saga: breaking dawn part I. I loved the book and the movie. I am grateful for the songwriter to be able to write and compose such a beautiful song in which enjoyed listening everytime I heard the song. For david and christina, may you both create more wonderful songs like this one! Cheers, jennifer.

    This song has great resemblance to my relationship. I was in the army and met a great guy. I was already dating his best friend. Mike used to stay at our house and torture me and make fun of me. He loved my daughter and all. I never understood it. It's been two years, I got out of the army last june while he went to fort hood, tx. We talked through facebook a lot. I was in another relationship while he had a gf too. Suddenly over xmas we realized we love eachother unconditionally. He is in iraq right now until june. Our wedding date is set for the week he is on leave. This will be our wedding song. So beautiful.

    My meaning is-
    it shows the true power and meaning of love. And when its also used in the twilight saga breaking dawn, it really fits the movie mood, edward is a vampire so he has eternal life and he loves human bella, it shows that he has been alive 1000 years (or less), and he was waiting for the perfect lover, and he found bella. That is how I symbolize this song. :)

    This song was perfect for the twilight saga, because it matches up with the scenario from edward's point of view. We've got a guy who has been on earth for a long time, so it could seem like a thousand years. He's surrounded by all these other people who have someone to love. One day this girl shows up and they keep getting closer and closer and before he even gets to know her, he has already fallen for her.

    I love this song. And even though I haven't lived enough to understand life to its fullest meaning, I still wanna say that this song shows me that you can love more than just loving someone. You can love all your family members with the same strong love you have for that special someone. And life is representing beauty. Beauty has flaws and scars not perfection and right now what I've learned is that is what life is, full of flaws and scars and imperfections. But that's what makes you.

    I believe this means, that two people have been in love with each other for, what seems like a thousand years and they are finally making their love one by getting married. As the bride is walking towards her groom at the alter, both of their hearts are beating faster with each step- closer to each other. Even after marriage, they will love each other with the same passion as before for as long as they are together and even when they are separated in death. It's such a beautiful picture painted in the song. I still imagine it being used in breaking dawn- as bella walks towards edward, one step closer to their forever lives together. Loving each other with the same and, even, grown, firery passion for the other as the close the gap of waiting to be with each other. Beautiful!

    My meaning for this songs is, she and his love one being far apart, then she make promise that she will wait for him until of her last breath no matter how many years and how long she need to wait. Even no matter what happens. She believe that love and time will bring she and her love one will be together one day. Because even she and her love one being far apart but in their heart there always near and together as one.

    Somebody even denied the coming of the parousia itself: "they will say, 'where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation'. "(4) but peter pointed out their deliberate self-deception. This universe was created by god. Because this world has its beginning, it is rational to expect that it has its end. Even though this world is perfectly created, it changes and wears out little by little. Today many ecologists are predicting its tragic end. There are so many natural disasters, but there will be the divine intervention in the parousia when this old heaven and earth will be terminated: "but the day of the lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. "(10); "that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. "(12) therefore, we "look forward to a new heaven and a new earth. "(13).

    However, it is also true that god feels a thousand years like a day. Because god works very busy for our salvation and providence, a day is too short, passing so fast as a flying arrow. Even a thousand years is felt like only a day. Even though some complained that the parousia is too slow, god felt it too fast because he loved this world: "the lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. "(9) even though almost two thousand years have passed already, god might feel like only two days have been passed.

    4. In the period of persecution and suffering, the church felt a day too long to persevere. God felt even longer. Jesus could return any moment and many saints cried for maranatha (come, lord) because of their painful sufferings! God's heart felt so painful just as he felt when his beloved son cried on the cross. He is our affectionate father. He might have considered to quicken the parousia. Whenever his children suffer, a day is like a thousand years to him! He feels the day far longer and painful than we do.

    When and why does god feel a day like a thousand years? Usually time is felt longer when it is hard. Perhaps, the longest day for jesus might be the day of crucifixion. A long night of suffering and 6 tormenting hours on the cross! It was followed by three more long days under the continuing punishment of death. When he was resurrected and accomplished the redemption of humanity, a new era was dawn to save the world. It is between his ascension and parousia(second coming). God limited the time of salvation when jesus waits in heaven. When he returns, the time of salvation will end. On the other hand, church will suffer too much in this world if it is too long. Therefore, the moment of parousia will be decided by god for the best harmony.

    Is waiting patiently to the one you love. Even if it takes a thousand years or more. Even if the hands of time stood still, even if the ground falls down under your feet, even you cried a river for that person. You'll always wait for him because you love him with all your heart and soul. Even if waiting doesn't made any assurance of might happen in the future.

    It's about this girl named bella. She is in love with this guy called edward. He is a vampire. But bella still likes him and is not afraid. But now they are engaged to get married. Bella is unsure if she is doing the right thing. She is nervous. There is also another guy called jacob. He likes bella. But when he finds out that edward and bella are getting married he is furious. That's why bella is unsure. In the end they get married. Bella really wanted to become a vampire. Edward said they get married. That is one reason why she married him but she loved him very much too.
    Well that's I think that the meaning is cos it is from twilight. If I got anything wrong please correct me cos I haven't seen the movie yet it's just me guessing. Enjoy! :)

    Without a doubt, it's about two individuals who pledged to be married after years of waiting for each other. A wedding song for a man and a woman. The woman is walking down the aisle to meet her groom. They would exchange their undying love for each other and they would stay together through thick and thin and love each other for ever and a thousand years more. Perfect for couples who are deeply and genuinely in love with each other.

    It's about bella swan and edward cullen from the twilight saga. The song was written for the movie breaking dawn part 1. The song describes edward's feelings for bella. In the book and in the movie he has stated how long (a century)for her that is what christina perri means when she states "love you for a thousand years (and more)i am a huge fan of the twilight series both books and movies even though I was skeptical that it was just another stupid teen movie but after being forced to see it I fell head over heels in love with it if your not interested in the series because of the same ignorant reason twilight has opened me up to so many new and exciting things, it has helped me define who I am today. And 1 more thing I love this song.

    It doesn't matter the age of us or the time we spent either together or apart, were both here now. As I walk down the aisle, you the only one who's telling me it's just me and you. Your also telling me that the vows are not what really hold the promise. Sometimes you fear that the ring that being beheld will bust spontaneously under the intense pressure of symbolizing something so rare and beautiful. A thousand doesn't even seem long enough.

    God knows the number of our days here on earth. True love will only come once in a lifetime and if you found the one who you feel without the doubt that this person is the one for you, never let them go. Wait for them forever. Our time here on earth is brief and our physical body has a time limit. When you die, our soul will last forever and you either go to heaven or hell and these places are eternal. Love the one you love especially here when you are still alive and breathing. Show them how much you love them and treasure every moment with them. Be happy that you met them. Love is forever for those who love with their whole heart and soul.

    Christina was asked to write a song for twilight and they let her watch it ahead of time. This song was written for twilight. That being said the meaning goes hand in hand with edward and his love for bella. Since he is a vampire and has lived for hundreds if not thousands of years. He was alone till he met bella she was the one he knew he'd find and he knows he will forever more love her.

    First I thought this is from jacob's perspective. Cos he loved bella and bella didn't [really] love him. But he still loved her to the very end. But mostly on edward. Cos he waited for her and now she is there with him. Point is that, you will wait for that person so much that no matter what people say, your heart still beats for that person. And even if they're not there, time will.

    This song is from edward's perspective, what he feels. When he was feeling lonely, he knew he would find the one that was meant for him. And he waited a long while > lonely=died everyday waiting for you. And he finds bella perfect even if she doesn't think so herself. And everytime someone wants to take her away from him, weither a love triangle or just wants her life. Basically the meaning is that the person would love you forever and with all that he / she is. No matter what.

    If you truly love someone, you'll always wait for him, and even if it's for a thousand years. It's fine and if his still not here. Then. I can still wait for a thousand more. (haaa. Totally love it. I can see myself just like that. What a masochist. Well I guess love is just like that. Even if you know you'll get hurt you still go on and on and give your heart away until you realize that nothings left for yourself.)

    I miss my bf whenever I listen to this song. I just want him to know that loving him was easy. Distance feels nothing. Love is what I feel. But perhaps he's too busy to know it. I just don't think he loves me the way I do :( this song (for me) feels so me. It's like "hey my love, i've been waitin for you. Hope you know that i love you so much for all of this time" even tho he'd just like "yeah, love you too"

    1st verse - anticipating the risk of loving someone because you are scare of getting hurt. But within one glance of the one you love, you are willing to risk everything for that one person you love.
    2nd verse - reassuring that regardless how long and painful the wait I will wait for a thousand years or even more because of the deep love.
    3rd verse - through the wait and endurement I will not let anything sway me away from waiting because every moment is a step close to meeting that person again.
    5th & last verse - in the end we finally are together and the wait was worth it. If I have to do it all over again, I will for more than a thousand years.
    :) I hope everyone enjoys this song as much as I did. This song is perfect for breaking dawn!

    First let me say I love christina perri with a burning passion!
    I think this song means everyday we die a little more waiting for that special someone to come along. When we finally meet that someone it feels like a thousand years but throughout the time spent waiting we know we've always loved that person even if we didn't know them till now. And when we finally collide with our true love we will love them for what seems like forever :)

    Well its obviously about dean and castiel. "how to brave" "all of my doubt goes away somehow"
    They found strength and faith in each other.
    Dean died and spent many years in hell until castiel found him and saved him and pulled his soul from hell. And castiel has been around thousands of years and during his all eternal angelic existence the one thing that made castiel begin to feel, to express emotion, was dean. They share a profound bond that will last throughout time. "i have died everyday waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid i have loved you. For a thousand years. I love you for a thousand more. "
