Our Love
Navigating the Shadows of Love: The Bros. Landreth's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Oh I am no devil
Expresses self-awareness and denial of being inherently evil.
You know I ain't no saint
Acknowledges imperfection, rejecting the label of a saint.
I can't be somebody
Conveys difficulty in conforming to someone else's expectations.
We both know I ain't
Shared understanding that the speaker falls short of certain ideals.
I tried so hard
Highlights sincere efforts made, possibly in the relationship.
You knew I wouldn't catch on
Suggests a lack of awareness or recognition from the other person.
Now I'm racing down the highway
Shifts to a scene of reckless behavior, speeding on the highway.
Going ninety in a sixty
Describes the intensity of the reckless behavior, exceeding speed limits.
Screaming out the window
Expresses emotional turmoil, vocalized through screaming.
Wishing you coulda fixed me
Wishes for the other person to have had the power to change the speaker.
But I'm still a drunk
Acknowledges persistent struggles with alcoholism.
And darling you're still gone
Indicates the continued absence of the person the speaker cares about.
Our love my baby
Describes the relationship as challenging and exhausting.
Is like holding up your fists when all the fight's gone
Compares the difficulty in the relationship to a futile fight.
Gone right outta you
Emphasizes the depletion of energy or passion in the relationship.
Now it's been hard since you left me
Admits to the emotional difficulty faced since the partner's departure.
I won't try to lie
Rejects falsehoods and acknowledges the challenge of facing the truth.
I can't look you in the eye
Expresses guilt and avoidance of eye contact due to self-awareness.
And tell you that I don't know why
Acknowledges the speaker's understanding of the reasons behind the breakup.
Cause I do
Confirms the truth about the relationship, accepting its unchangeable nature.
And honey I can't change
Expresses a recognition of personal limitations and an inability to change.
Our love my baby
Reiterates the enduring nature of the love, despite its challenges.
Is burned onto my heart
Symbolizes the deep and lasting impact of love on the speaker's heart.
Just like staring at the sun
Compares the permanence of love to staring at the intense brightness of the sun.
Staring at the sun
Repeats the comparison, emphasizing the overwhelming and inescapable nature of love.
Oh, oh
Utters an emotional expression, possibly conveying pain or longing.
Oh, oh
Repeats the emotional expression, reinforcing its significance.
