This Is What Our Love Looks Like Now
Ainslie Wills Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long stretch of golden sun then the rain-soaked grey
Coffee every morning now we’re out of things to say
I’m looking for something kind eyes
That tells me everything will work out fine

Let’s face it we’re an odd pair
we’ve known it from the start
I always thought you were too good for me

You are so bright so smart
I’m looking for something kind eyes
That tells me everything will work out all right

Our hearts still glow
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
What does our love look like?
This is what our love looks now

I’ll see you around it just won’t be everyday
Our lives will take their course
Other people will matter more
I’ll be looking for those sweet kind eyes
I’ll stop calling in the middle of the night

Our hearts still glow for each other
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?
This is what our love looks like
This is what our love looks now

Our hearts still glow
And time will tell if we’re s’posed to be together my best friend
What is this mess?

This is what our love looks like
This is what our love looks like now
