Call It Love
Adam Harvey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just lookin back on the life we've made
The things we've lost the words to say
A million words are not enough
Call it love

I know that sometimes I put you through
More than I should ask of you
There must be a reason you don't give up
Call it love

I don't know what else to call it
When all I wanna do
Is grow old with you
What else on earth can it be when every time you're with me
A simple touch tears me up
Call it love

I don't know what else to call it
When all I wanna do
Is grow old with you
What else on earth can it be when every time you're with me
A simple touch tears me up
Call it love





A million words are not enough
Call it love

Overall Meaning

In the song Call It Love by Adam Harvey, the lyrics are reflective on the life that the singer and his partner have built together, acknowledging the highs and lows that have been experienced along the way. The first verse speaks nostalgically about looking back on the life they have shared, reminiscing on the things that have been lost and the words left unsaid. The second verse acknowledges the difficulties that have been faced in the relationship, with the singer admitting to sometimes asking too much of his partner. Despite this, he recognises that there must be a reason why his partner has stayed with him through thick and thin, and he attributes it to being something as simple, yet complex, as love.


The chorus makes a powerful statement, with the singer declaring that he doesn't know what else to call this feeling that he has for his partner but love. He expresses his desire to grow old with his partner, and highlights the profound impact that even a simple touch can have. The repetition of the line "A million words are not enough, Call it love" reinforces the message that the love between these two people cannot be fully expressed through words alone.


Overall, this song is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring power of love in a relationship. The lyrics are honest and sincere, and the melody is gentle and understated, allowing the words to take centre stage.
