Hey guys!
This is my first ever video (not with anime)!! Its also the first time I actually bothered to put the full lyrics on screen! LOL xD!

Anyways, just to let you guys know... I might not be making a lot of videos because....
1. Stress hates my guts... (and so do a lot of people now... - I understand myself okay?)
2. School also hates me and seems to try to make my life real miserable this past month.
3. Valentine's day is coming. I hate it's guts.
but this is for an english project. Yes an english project. So i had to get it done. The teacher wanted stills, so i wanted to use anime pics... but.... after 30 seconds into the video, i send him a preview... and that's when he mentioned REAL photography... (thanks for telling me now.... -_-). So I got through it and now I have to work on ANOTHER one because i have to do two of these things... xD Great isnt it? LoL! Homework with AMVs (well not really)... My kinda video! Yahhh!

~ The meaning of this song for me ~
(well I had to do this part because i had to say what the song talks about in my project - and i think that the song is interesting :D)

So the song is basically about a long relationship between the singer and his wife/girlfriend.

"You're the sky that I fell through, and I remember the view whenever I'm holding you. "
When he first fell in love with her.

"Chills run down my spine as our fingers entwine, And your sighs harmonize with mine. Unmistakably, I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me."
Even though they're in love, and it seems like a serious relationship- he still has that high school crush on her that started everything out, and it keeps their love alive.

"We got older and I shouldve known (Do you feel alive?) That Id feel colder when I walk alone (Oh but youll survive)"
They're growing apart as they're getting older. They're losing the spark in their relationship. He's saying he should have known from the start that it would happen, they couldn't be perfect together forever. But they will survive this difficulty.

"Circle me and the needle moves gracefully back and forth, If my heart was a compass, youd be North"
He's saying that, like a compass always points North, his heart will always lead him back to her.

"Risk it all 'cause I'll catch you if you fall."
They will risk everything for each other, and trust each other because they both know that if something bad happened to the other they'd be there to catch one another if anything is wrong.

"Wherever you go, if my heart was a house, you'd be home"
She's like his home, and it doesn't matter where they are.

"I walk slowly when Im on my own (Do you feel alive) Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh but youll survive)"
He's sad when he's without her, but just thinking about her makes him feel alive- but he still feels alone without her.
