Songs of Love
Embracing Love's Symphony: James Levy's Reflection on Life's Melodies
Lyrics
God gave me heart but I never learned to use it
Despite having a heart, I haven't learned how to use it properly.
God gave me strength all I learned is to abuse it
Though I've been given strength, I've only learned to misuse it.
Quiver of the lip and your second cigarette
A slight trembling of the lip and reaching for another cigarette.
It's been a little while I remember how to use it
After a period, I recall how to make use of it (possibly referring to emotional connection).
There's a place for you and me back at the movies
There's a place where both of us can belong, reminiscent of a setting like the movies.
Singing songs of love no longer soothe me
Singing love songs used to be comforting, but not anymore.
Love is more important than the music
Love holds more significance than music in life.
We must take control or we're gonna lose it
We need to take charge, otherwise, we'll lose what's important.
Fell in love
Repeated expressions emphasizing a deep experience of falling in love.
Fell in love
-Fell in love
-Fell in love
-God gave me love but I found a way to lose
Despite being given love, I've managed to lose it somehow.
God gave me hate didn't know to refuse it
Given hate but unaware of how to reject or resist it.
A subtle hair flick and a second cigarette
A subtle gesture and reaching for another cigarette.
God gave me hope and the dreams to abuse it
Although given hope and dreams, I've ended up misusing or mishandling them.
There's a teal house just for us right on the ocean
There's a specific house symbolizing a place of belonging by the ocean.
A big night light the moon going through the motions
A vivid description of a significant place, likened to a night light, but lacking genuine emotion.
Love is more important than the music
Love holds a greater priority than music.
We must take control or you're gonna lose it
We need to take control, or else there's a risk of losing something valuable.
Fell in love
Repeated emphasis on the experience of falling deeply in love.
Fell in love
-Fell in love
-Fell in love
-Sitting on the ledge on the bridge in the city light Interstate 90 blues
