The song is about leaving the everyday struggles of life behind and taking your chance to explore and experience a place where happiness awaits you that transcends the mundane. It speaks of the pain of ending a relationship, yet extending a hand of understanding that it was perhaps for the best, and that though you may be far away, the experience of love has changed you for the better and has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. The chorus contains the uplifting message of hope that such a journey still has many miles ahead, leading to potential discoveries and explorations of the unknown. The song speaks of the courage that it takes to seek out the joys of something new, even if it’s just over the hills and far away.
