Review

This is a song about love and fear. The singer is afraid of losing their loved one and the special time they share. They don't want the memories to fade. The singer wants to spend all their time with their loved one, to wake up with them, and for the sun to shine on them. They want to steal all the time they can for love.

The singer is also afraid that one day their loved one will be far away, and they won't be able to share their fears. They don't want to miss them.

The song is about cherishing the moment and making the most of the time you have with the people you love. It's about love, fear, and hope.

The song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. It's a beautiful song about love, but it's also a reminder that love is fragile and can be lost.

The artist weaves the story through vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion. The lyrics are simple but powerful. The song is both personal and universal. The Youtube video features the singer performing on a mount. The song does not include any explicit themes. It is a sad song, but it is also a hopeful song.
