The Love 02:38 video
I know enough about love To break it I’ve heard enough about love How to make it I wrote a song about us Are we faking I hope it’s not about us I’d put myself on a tree Like the lord With my feet Off the ground And I’m bound And the nails How I’d bleed I’d give it all for love All of my breathe for love I want a run-in with love Take me I want to know the whole love I’m aching I know it’s all about love No mistaking Let me and I’ll bring the love I’d put myself on a tree Like the lord With my feet Off the ground And I’m bound And the nails How I bleed Now take me down from this tree Take me down To my knees Take me whole I want to live in the love I want to share in the love

About as far as we Are gonna go Look at us We are dogpiling Will it fade I won’t pretend to know When all our fear is strung out on the snow And all the love we feel the drain of blood And if we all fall out If the bottom drops out I hope that we share ground On this here island And if we all fall out I hope that we share ground On this here island How can we ever be The way we were Come with me Let’s go unwind it Are we too late We can’t yet know When all our fear is strung out on the snow And all the love we feel the drain of blood And if we all fall out If the bottom drops out I hope that we share ground On this here island if we all fall out I hope that we share ground On this here island And if we all fall out If the bottom drops out I hope that we share ground On this here island if we all fall out I hope that we share ground On this here island And if we all fall out I hope that we share ground I hope we don’t fall out And if we all fall out If the bottom drops out I hope that we share ground On this here island if we all fall out I hope that we share ground On this here island

Keeping an open mind When all that surrounds me Is aiming to polarize Done enough weeping To know that it ain’t alright There’s plenty of pain in sight Keeping an open mind Keeping an open hand All that surrounds me Is reaching for all it can grab I’ve done enough seeking To know that it ain’t all fair I’m holding it out midair Keeping an open hand What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way Keeping an open plan When all that surrounds me Is aiding to pin me in I’ve done enough dreaming To know that I can’t be bound Beginning leave ground I’m keeping an open plan What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way Here I lay it down Here I, here i’ll lay it down Let my fear dissolve Let me shed it and evolve Let my feet be planted Let me stand up really tall I’m a miracle What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way What left to say More than a prayer Reaching out for A better way

Every time you run away Every time you’ve pulled away I’ve looked and I’ve found no reason Every time we’ve tried it on Every time we pulled it off Our vibe has defied all reason In the back of your mind In the soft of your thighs In the green of your eyes I think you know In the boldest of tone In the marrowest bones On the tip of your nose I think you know I think you know Even when the ice is thin Even when I’m not let in Our bond is a whole adhesion Even in the coldest wind Even when the sun is in Our love is a warming season In the back of your mind In the soft of your thighs In the green of your eyes I think you know In the boldest of tone In the marrowest bones On the tip of your nose I think you know I think you know I think you know Think about it Think about it About I think you know I Think About I think you I Think I think you know About it About it About it In the back of your mind In the soft of your thighs In the green of your eyes I think you know In the boldest of tone In the marrowest bones On the tip of your nose I think you know In the back of your mind In the soft of your thighs In the green of your eyes I think you know In the boldest of tone In the marrowest bones On the tip of your nose I think you know I think you know I think you know Think about it About I think you know I think you know Think about it Think about it

In my head we’re certainly miles away So let’s comb over every play There’s so many colours that we could make Yet we are monochrome in a way Yet we are monochrome in a way It might have been suddenly night and day But we were wrapped up in the game There’s so many movements left to make Yet we are statue-like in our place Yet we are statue-like in our place And maybe we’re crazy enough to pray But what would we want god to say There’s so many worries that we could make Yet we are readjusting our aim Yet we are readjusting our aim There’s no standing still Only moving forward or backward And on the whole we’re hand in hand I hope this goes into the after

As I play my part You inspire me So I take my mark And I start to sing In my heart And my body In my bones Every part of me And if I’m drown out or in free fall You are my favourite one of all And when I’m not fully settled down To you I’m tethered, wrapped around Ooh You require me To remove my guard Give you all of me In my heart And my body In my bones Every part of me And if I’m drown out or in free fall You are my favourite one of all And when I’m not fully settled down To you I’m tethered, wrapped around And if I’m drown out or in free fall You are my favourite one of all And when I’m not fully settled down To you I’m tethered I’m wrapped around I’m wrapped around Ooh I’m wrapped around Tethered and wrapped around

When I am not well Still you are found here You do your best to heal You do not disappear I say your name in the dark I find you there like a shot You’re almost one to fear Entangled by your love it’s clear With no applauding You are the last to sleep Unwavering routine You have a fix on our needs I trace your name on my palm I ring it out like a song Toward your will I do steer Anything to keep you near Unwavering Routine Unwavering Routine Unwavering Routine Unwavering Routine
8.
Keep your hands clean Keep your hearts wide open If you’re antsy Know you’re not the only one Hope over fear Love over hate When it’s unclear Where to place your next foot down And you’re unsure That you’ll make the next time around Hope over fear Love over hate Hope over fear Love over hate Hope over fear Love over hate Hope over fear Love over hate
9.
As the wind, it swirls around me Let it pull me out of melancholy And the walls that stand around me Let them come down and set me free Anyway, anyway you warned me That this way was lonely I follow my feet As the world shifts all around me Let me not follow rather lead And while others run to high land Let me learn how to traverse the sea Anyway, anyway you warned me That this way was lonely I follow my feet I follow my feet I follow my feet I follow my feet For better or worse I’ve altered my course I follow my feet I follow my feet I follow my feet I follow my feet Anyway, anyway you warned me That this way was lonely I follow my feet Anyway, anyway you warned me That this way was lonely I follow my feet I follow my feet
10.
It’s over and I never thought I’d see the day The disappearing of our love A rearranging of what was A bomb went off and then we weren’t In mourning I took up a craft distracting me From everything that ever was Mysterium tremendum In reaching out to touch the sun Here lies a pardon A transcendental way to entice us A transcendental way Adjust my eyes to see if I could puncture through The world as it appears to us To see the forces blind to us To see and not deny thus Here lies a pardon A transcendental way to entice us A transcendental way A transcendental way to entice us A transcendental way to entice us A transcendental way to entice us A transcendental way
