Moments are certainly not meant to last for a long time, however, the songwriter seems to suggest that it is possible for a moment to last forever. The main message here is that when one holds on to love, happy times can be experienced over and over, even if they are just memories. It also explains that life has many seasons and times, but the one that endures when everything has been forgotten is love.

The singer depicts love as a song which contains all fond memories. She talks about the imperfections of life and the worst moments when one feels like giving up, stating that in these times, when they reminisce on the love they’ve shared, it will keep them from being overwhelmed. Love, according to the singer is the key to every trouble as it is pure, unbiased, protective and endures to the end.
