[Verse 1]
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
[Chorus]
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
[Post-Chorus]
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
[Verse 2]
Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it nevеr was
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in thе cut

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
[Chorus]
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
[Post-Chorus]
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
[Bridge]
It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know
[Chorus]
And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
Someone you don't know (Woah)
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
[Outro]
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
[Chorus]
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
[Post-Chorus]
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Meaning & Explanation
The song 'Eternity' by Alex Warren is a melancholic ballad about profound loss and the enduring pain of a broken relationship. The narrator grapples with the feeling that time has stopped since their loved one left, creating an 'eternity' of sadness and regret. He laments opportunities lost, the inability to understand why they drifted apart ('chase the light'), and his current solitary existence. The lyrics convey themes of isolation, yearning for a past paradise, and accepting (though not necessarily embracing) the permanence of the pain.
