Lyrics

I heard love is like the tide, it comes in so fast and says goodbye

Love is described as unpredictable, coming swiftly and leaving abruptly like the tide.

I heard love is like a flower, feed it too much and it can die

Comparing love to a fragile flower that can wither if given too much attention.

I heard love is like the wind, it gets under your skin and eats you from within

Love is likened to the wind, penetrating deep within, causing internal turmoil.

I heard it's just an emotion, in a bigger ocean we swim in

Love is portrayed as an emotion within a vast and complex existence.


But I'll prove that's not true, for us two

Expressing a determination to prove that the negative views about love are not applicable to the speaker and their partner.

That's someone else's view, they must be blue

Suggesting that the negative perceptions about love belong to others who may be unhappy.

Without someone like you

Acknowledging the value of having someone like the listener in the speaker's life.


I heard love makes you go funny, makes you spend your money and your mind

Describing love as a force that can influence behavior, including spending money and affecting mental state.

I heard it can life you so high, high enough to drop you on your behind

Love can elevate emotions but also has the potential to bring one down unexpectedly.

I heard love is just one-sided, it tears you up inside just for being kind,

Love is portrayed as unbalanced and causing internal conflict when kindness is involved.

You give, you give a little more, more than you had before for the last time

Highlighting the self-sacrifice in love, giving more than before, possibly leading to disappointment.


But I'll prove that's not true, for us two

Reiterating the commitment to prove the negativity surrounding love wrong for the speaker and their partner.

That's someone else's view, they must be blue

Reinforcing that negative views on love are not applicable to the speaker's relationship.

Without someone like you

Expressing the importance of having someone like the listener to defy the negative perspectives on love.


Someone like you makes me wonder

Acknowledging that someone like the listener makes the speaker contemplate and appreciate things differently.

Why people enjoy the thunder more than the rain

Questioning why people prefer the excitement of conflict (thunder) over the calmness of harmony (rain).

You can feel it, but the storm might never happen in the place again,

Suggesting that the anticipation of a storm might be more thrilling than the actual event, drawing parallels to love.

Yes I hear them, tell me love is only the bite before sting

Addressing negative perceptions that love is just a momentary pleasure before experiencing pain.

An appearance, a sugar coated song that some people sing

Describing love as a deceptive and superficial concept that some people only sing about.

About someone like you

Reaffirming the significance of someone like the listener in the speaker's life.


But I'll prove that's not true, for us two

Continuing the commitment to disprove negative views about love for the speaker and their partner.

That's someone else's view, they must be blue

Emphasizing that negative perspectives on love do not apply to the speaker's relationship.

Without someone like you

Reiterating the importance of having someone like the listener to counteract negative views on love.
