The lines 'Within my heart are memories of perfect love that you gave to me, Oh I remember' suggest a romantic relationship that existed in the past between the two. The memories of this love are still deeply rooted in the singer's heart.
The chorus 'When you are with me I'm free... I'm careless... I believe, above all the others we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice' shows the deep bond and the feeling of freedom that the singer feels when they are with this person. The expression 'my sacrifice' could refer to sacrifices that the singer has made or is willing to make for this relationship.
'We've seen our share of ups and downs, oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant' speaks of the highs and lows they have experienced together and how quickly life can change.
'Feels so good to reunite within yourself and within your mind, let's find peace there' is an invitation to self-discovery and inner peace that the singer finds in the reunion with this person.
