@@swizzycake It's about the singer's love for her partner, the relationship, how it's gone toxic, and how it ends up not working out

Through your eyes I see A smile you bring to me To your joy, I tether Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together Like the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever My dog barks wildly To protect my infancy From my ex-believer And I try to calm the wolf To remind her I am both Still she tears at my sweater Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the wren sheds her feather Not a lot, just forever And your dearest fantasy Is to grow a baby in me I could be a good mother And I wanna be your wife So I hold you to my knife And I steal your letter Not a lot, just forever Intertwine some together As the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever So I bash around the house And the poison stains my mouth She comes, I let her And we share a paradise And I roll them once or twice Can't get much better Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the rock bears the weather Not a lot, just forever Not a lot, just forever Intertwined, sewn together As the wren bares her feathers Not a lot, just forever

has to be one of the best songwriters alive.

“Not a lot just forever” the great intricate story of love summed up.

when I first heard this song, I cried for days every time I even thought about it. the way this song makes makes my soul hurt is unmatched and i feel like clawing into myself and cleaving out whatever is inside anytime I even think it. it has touched me so much that i have to push it down and away because if I think about it too long i cannot stop. this is the most emotion a song has ever evoked out of me and it’s incredible and you are so talented and its so beautiful but i can never listen to this again because i will spend the rest of my life in tears

I keep thinking about my boyfriend every time I listen to this song. Yesterday, he told me that he thought about me in everything he saw, and it was so heartwarming to know, because I do that too. I see him in everything I see-the trees, the flowers, even my clothes. I love thinking about him, and I wish he loved thinking about me too. I love you, Jor.

This made me cry the first time I heard it. Favourite song on Songs.

what a record.. it's a perfect fit for my top 10 acoustics ever

1:21-1:30 that recurring melody is one of the most things i've ever heard

Just can't really describe in words how good this is...

Instant tears

I'm sobbing

This is one of a kind, can never and will never be replaced.

Adriannes songs are so perfect in the fact that you can be crying your eyes out to it at one point, then dancing around your room to it, then staring into the distance, serenading yourself with it, feel at peace with it, feel empty with it, ANYTHING

This song makes me feel something different... like a real story telling of the love through my eyes and my life. It brings out raw emotions, and the lyrics are beautifully put! Such a outstanding piece of art this song is :)❤

After a month playing games with my 2 friends, one of them just touched my heart with his laugh, ruined humor and way to empathize. Discord help us to talk often. I thought I would never find someone to love or to feel loved by someone after a break, longdistance relationship with someone very different from me, but I learned so much things thanks to her. I prefered to say to to my friend I felt love, and not just friendship between us... She felt the same. I think you just have to give yourself a chance and be grateful about your past and keep walking, love, smile, feel you're loved, make someone smile. Don't get stuck! ❤

After 2 months, I realize I didnt get rid of my ex (longdistance relationship) so I hurt this girl I met, prolly someone who would be the best person I have ever met, pure and genuine personality with the same humor as me, but it was my fault, it wasn't the time, cause never is the right time to do something, you just take the risk, and I lost her. Now I'm alone, focusing in me and my studies, but each day feeling I have anymore strong feelings to my ex who just played with me, but I think thats something I deserved by not having some teenager love, cause I could say she wasnt mature as I thought having my same age, but it was love in some way, even if she was too different from me.

This song pulls the truth out of my tears and heart. No song has made me feel this connected and reunited with who I once was. I feel every emotion I have come to know throughout this song. Truely beautiful, thank you.

I think this has to be the best youtube recommendation I've received in 10 years on this site. Such a beautiful voice and instrumental. I'm going to have to force myself to not listen to this ten times a day.

what the hell this song makes me UPSET but in a good way

I know this is probably not what this song means, but here is how I see it. "Not A lot Just Forever." Means something you have to deal with forever, it may not seem like a lot at the moment, or you may tell yourself this. But it's going to be forever. "Like the rock bears the weather." shows the rock has beared the weather, no matter if it is stormy, or sunny. It always gets through the weather. "When a dog barks wildly, to protect its infentsy" means to the dog is barking wildly, quickly getting defensive to protect its infentsy, something that will always be apart of them. Something that means alot to them. The dog may act on this without even realizing it. Again, I know this probably isnt what it means. But it brings me comfort to think of it this way.

"And I wana be your wife, so i hold you to my knife. And i steal your letter, not a lot just forever"

I've always wanted to be a mother. but due to a whole childhood of trauma and self-loathing, I fear I may never reach that day. I had a dream the other night that I was holding a baby boy. I woke up distraught that he wasnt there. Im only 18, but I never pictured a future for myself, Im scared I will never see my baby boy. maybe it was a sign to keep going my school counselor, when I told her assured me, I'd have a family, and I nearly started bawling. I dunno what the point of this ramble is, I wonder if anyone else feels the same

The birds 🐦 sing with this song 🔊 🤙

I find it Hard to listen to this song. It is by no means a bad song at all, I actually find it quite nice. It’s the memories this song brings along. Every time I find my self vividly remembering the time I found the love I spent was for nothing. As I sat on that FaceTime call quietly, trying to find what to say to her without bursting out in tears again. As she sat going about her evening despite telling me that she felt nothing but a random guy after all the time we spent together. I cried. Hard. Every night for weeks after then, I found it even harder knowing there was nothing of either of us could have done. She felt no spark for me as I did for her, when my heart raced when I stared at her she didn’t feel the same racing rhythm and the stumbling of my words as I looked into her chocolate brown eyes. The comfort her hand gave me intertwined with mine. It was all my own dream. I knew after I hung up that call it would be the last time we ever spoke as familiar faces. And I tried everything to make sure that wasn’t the case. And here I am. I hope it’s for the better but im still heartbroken. Healing, but slowly. I miss my beautiful girl, and I miss how much of safe space she gave me. The moments I cried in her arms, the time I comforted her as another man did the very same thing she would soon do to me. I miss her so much and this song reminds me so much.

"I could be a good mother" Idk as someone with parental issues and stuff this song makes me think about how I can change as a person and not have to be like them in any way if I don't want to, like my life is mine and I can do whatever I want with it. One day I wanna be a mom, and I wanna do better than my parents ever could. But only time will tell.

You mean so much to me you made me feel things I’ve never felt before when i thought things won’t ever get better. I know i never met you so how can i miss you? How can i love someone I didn’t hear their voice or touched them or even talked to them? How could i know a stranger like you more than anyone? But somehow i can’t get over you even after 569 days. How can i forget you when you were the only person who made me feel safe and then you left but you didn’t make me regret anything? You have the sweetest soul ever. I miss having dreams about you if i can’t meet you in dreams then where should we meet? Please visit me in my dreams again i really miss you. You make me feel safe even when you’re absent. How warm your soul should be to make a person like me feel the warmth ?
