To paraphase what singer Jonny Pierce said on Spotify’s Encyclopedia commentary, this song is about love between two men.
More than that, it’s about the fear of losing something good.
A similar theme is explored on the following song, “Kiss Me Again.”
[Intro]
[Verse]
I never thought I'd wanna die
But I was looking for a gun
On a cold night then you found me
[Pre-Chorus]
God help me
Because I feel you drifting
You're drifting a little
And I'm scared
[Chorus]
And I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
[Verse]
When you hold my hand
Your eyes are looking out the window
I'm afraid to ask
[Pre-Chorus]
So help me
Because I feel you drifting
You're drifting a little
And I'm scared
[Chorus]
And I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
And I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
I hope time
Doesn't change him
