Lyrics for Never Say Never as interpreted by Unnamed1

Never Say Never Lyrics
Some things we don't talk about,
Rather do without and just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of, together all the while

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go

Picture you're queen of everything
Far as the eye can see under your command
I will be your guardian when all is crumbling
I'll steady your hand

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time, time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go

We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together,
Pull it together again

Don't let me go

is it ashamed and proud of? or same damn problem?

anyway i think this song is about a struggling relationship that he doesn't want to end, he wants them to work it out and let her know that he isn't ready to give up.

The new album is great, I love it. They changed their style up a little, kind of testing new waters but still kept the original sound we love them for. This song immediatly got my attention, and so far is my fav. I think it's about him not wanting to be let go of and give up on the relationship so soon. Then again, I can also see it as him telling her to Never Say Never because he beleives that they will be together. Both friends with each other but she doesn't want to ruin their friendship, but he beleives that they can and will be. That they may be the one for each other. So she shouldn't let go of them, their relationship as friends and maybe more. Don't let him go.

This is how I see this song, only because of the current situation going on in my life. I think it may be about a girl who is walking out of his life. They have been friends forever, but never became anything more. "Some things we don't talk about, rather do without and just hold a smile" They each have been "falling in and out of love" but either way, they have remained close. But something changed, he wants something more then just that friendship. Maybe she has actually found someone to spend the rest of her life with, even though that other guys isn't right for her and it made him realize. He believes "you can never say never" hoping that they will be together one day. He proceeds to tell her how he feels. He says "picture you're the Queen of everything, far as the eye can see" because she thinks she holds the world in her hands at the moment, but he knows eventually she has to realize that other guy isn't right for her. He continues to say "I will be your guardian when all is crumbling, I'll steady your hand." Meaning, he will always be there for her.

A girl that I have known since I was very young, just got engaged. To a guy that she should totally not be with, he lies, and she falls for it. Her and I never became anything more then best friends, even though we tried dating a couple of times. Both of us were at different stages during those times, and I had my own demons that I had to overcome. I pretty much prevented anything from happening between us. Then I realized she was everything I wanted, but I was too late. She had started dating one of her ex's again, the same ex that treated her like trash, and tried to change her from the person she was. And now they are getting married, and I just want to yell "Don't Let Me Go!" But I guess I have dug my own grave.

OK This is my take. Similiar to those above. The lyrics are right I checked them to the fray website.

I think its about friends that have been friends for years, and one is growing closer and wanting to be more then just friends. But the other knows that it could ruin their relationship. The one has feelings of more then friendship but doesnt want to lose a friend if it doesnt work out, "Falling in and out of love, Ashamed and proud of, together all the while". I think the "younger now then when we were before" I think is talking about, they are less caring about life and looking more for happiness. Just like a young child. I think the rest about being the queen is talking about even if you go on to have the world, Someone as simple as me will be here to make sure your safe.

I think that everyone that has posted before me makes good points, and I think that maybe this means something different to everyone, depending on what is going on in that person's life.

To me, I think it is about a girl that is confused and trying to walk away from something great but still holding on because she doesn't know what she truly feels. They both know there is some tension in the relationship, but are too comfortable to face the facts, and they just keep things the way they are: "Some things we don't talk about, Rather do without and just hold the smile."

It seems like the guy wants things to keep progressing, but that can't happen because the girl doesn't know what she wants. He is ready to give her the world and devote himself completely to her and make her the queen of his everything. Maybe he knows that he can be everything she needs, so he tells her not to let him go.

They "pull apart and come together again and again" because they are on and off, hot and cold. She will pull away, then come back because he is there to be her "guardian when all is crumbling" and to "steady her hand."

Perhaps you can tell that I am getting this explanation from events right now in my life!!! Well, those are just some of my thoughts. Tell me what you think...

I'm not totally sure what this song means. But to me it reminds me so much of the time right now because we're in our last few months of school and we're going to be saying goodbye to all of our best friends and this song just reminds me of the good the bad times, the things we'll never let go off. And also not wanting to let go of each other. I especially love the line 'younger now than we were before' as it reminds me so much of all the good times we've had.

i think the title of the song speaks for itself. never say never because the future can always change... based on what we decide. some minds change like seasons. the more you learn, the more you realize how less you know. just when you had it all figured out.

"This is a direct love song between two people who are "pulling apart and coming together again and again." Whilst guitarist Joe King's marriage predates the band, the other three members got married between the release of their 2005 debut set How to Save a Life, and their 2009 self-titled sophomore release. Guitarist Dave Welsh noted in publicity materials: "Trying to have these two things coexist – traveling in a band for nine or 10 months out of the year, and having a wife at home who's trying to go about this other life she has – is fascinatingly difficult. If you could put your finger on one thing that's been hard or a challenge, that would be it." --SongFacts

i think this song has tons of possible meanings i like the ones before me but waht comes to mind for me
is two people who have been together and split up but remained friends and are now growing closer
but theyre avaioding the past the possibility of getting back together they dont talk about before

Some things we don�t talk about,
Rather do without and just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of, together all the while

theyd rather just smile and ignore it than risk it again theyve fallen in and out with each other and other people over time
theyre ashamed of how theyve acted but proud of it at the same time

one of them wants it wants them not to say it cant ever happen again and not to let this chance go

I agree with what everyone has been saying. But what I truly think it means is this:

Two people are in a relationship right now. The guy is all in but the girl is scared of the future, scared to pursue anything serious.

Somethings, we don't talk about, such as the future. Instead, living life day by day seeing where it will take them. Rather to do without thinking, and holding the smile back, ashamed you can't express your true feelings, yet proud of what you have in your arms.

The guy wants to express how he feels, yet you can never say never, about things that can happen.

Don't Let me go...

However, through thick and thin, I will always be here for you. Your the queen of everything, under your command. Through hard times, I will be here. When you are at your worst moment in life, I will be here. I'll steady your hand.

Younger now than we were before. Pulling apart from each other, yet knowing that we can't live without each other. Decisions are tough. But whatever you choose and whatever you want, i will always be here for you, and I will always love you.

We are together...so don't let me go. Don't let me go, don't let me go...

Personal events that are happening in my life right now. Tell me what you think.

This song is one of those special songs that can be interpreted many different ways according to what the listener is going through in his or her life. I love their new cd and this is, without a doubt, my favorite song from it. A lot of the posts before mine have made sense and I can definitely see where they got their ideas from but I have a different take on this song. I think it's about a guy and a girl who were in a relationship together, rather than being just friends, and things ended between them. Because they are both so scared of getting hurt again, they don't talk about getting back together or how they are still in love with one another. They fall in and out of love with each other as they try to patch up their relationship. The guy believes that they can make it and that they will be together again one day so he tells her to "Never say never." He tries to reassure her and tell her not to be afraid because he loves her and will always be there for her, especially when times are rough. He does all he can to convince her that they belong together but ultimately, it's up to her. His heart is in her hands so he tells her to not let him go. Don't break his heart and make him whole once again.

I am going through something extremely similar to the situation I see when I listen to this song. My girlfriend and I were together for over four years and she was the love of my life. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and I thought that she wanted all the same things I did. But somewhere along the road, she got scared and ended things between us. My heart has been broken for the past seven months and I want nothing more than to hold her in my arms again. I tell her that if she chose me, she wouldn't need to be afraid because, "I will be your guardian when all is crumbling. I'll steady your hand."

Well, I'm pretty sure that I can't add to what has already been said but I will try.

Like many people, this song applies to my life right now very much... except backwards because I am on the recieving end of this... and I'm a guy. This song, I believe, is about a guy wanting a girl to come back after they broke up. He doesn't want her to leave him once and for all. They have been trying again and again to get back together ("Falling in and out of love"). This has happened again, but this time, he is afraid that it will be lasting.

In my life, there was a girl that was simply amazing. We dated for about 4 months, then broke up mainly as a result of pressure from our sports and tough classes. For five months after we broke up, we stayed together, just without 'the title'. We never got back together because we would fight over stupid stuff even though we always made up. Eventually, I was an idiot and, despite my ex's begging, decided to go out with my best friend. My ex stopped talking to me altoghther. My best friend and I have been going out for about a month now and I still can't get used to the thought of going out with her. I have been missing my ex more and more too.

Two days ago, I was listening to this song, and thinking about my ex (yes, I know that sounds really bad) and for the first time in a month, I got a text from her. It was a simple sad face- :(. I'm split now. I don't want to hurt my best friend, but I don't think it's fair to her to think about another girl. I have no idea what to do. This song is perfect, and yep, that's my personal anecdote.

i'm a little biased but what i think this song is about is a guy or girl who's boy/girl friend is wanting to break up with them, and they don't want them to go, they just wanna hold onto what they have for as long as they can. this totally describes what i was just going through
my girlfriend just broke up with me, and now she wants to be best friends, the horribly sad thing is i thought i had found my true love in her, she was my everything and now it just hurts. it's like i had given her my heart and my soul, and she just threw back in my face. even her name sounds different. it pains me everytime i have to see her, cause i know there is absolutely no chance of us ever getting back together, cause when she left me she went ahead and already got another boyfriend.
