Lyrics
You thought I was something from afar
You believed I had a captivating allure from a distance.
You thought I'd totally excite you
You thought I would completely arouse or stimulate your interest.
I guess it's just another thing to stand up close and ignite you
But in reality, it's just another challenge to intimately engage and excite you when we're close.
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
Love doesn't conform to common expectations or ideals.
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday
Love requires consistently tending to the small, fragmented aspects of it each day.
You were telling me the friends we have in common
You were discussing our mutual acquaintances.
By the time I figured it out you were yawning
By the time I grasped the conversation, you seemed disinterested or bored.
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
Love doesn't adhere to conventional descriptions or beliefs.
You gotta get up and work the people everyday
It necessitates actively interacting and engaging with people every day.
And I thought,
I pondered
"Who am I?"
Questions about my identity arose.
"Who's this guy?"
Questions about the identity of the person in question emerged.
"Would I lie to make the day blur into the night?"
Wondering if I would deceive to blur the distinction between day and night.
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
Love doesn't conform to societal or idealistic portrayals.
You gotta pick up the little pieces everyday
It involves consistently addressing the small aspects daily.
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say
Love doesn't fit into commonly propagated notions.
You gotta get up and work the people everyday
It requires actively engaging with people every day.
