We Could Love
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
or maybe i can't see
well either one is fine
i speak redundantly
its hard to see whats wrong
when you're diving in like me
i used to love relentlessly
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love
don't get me wrong here
i need you in my life
but we're independent people
at the current time
i know that years from now
a day will finally come for us to love perpetually
so how can you remember everything?
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love
this is where i draw the line this time
this just has to stop right here
if we can't just learn to live our lives
then we don't have any hope at all
so how can you remember everything?
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love
The song "We Could Love" by Alex Goot is a beautiful track that talks about the struggles of falling in love and the rules that society has placed on love. The opening lines, "so maybe I'm just blind or maybe I can't see, well either one is fine I speak redundantly," suggests a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what the singer is feeling. He acknowledges that it's hard to see what's wrong when you're diving in like him; hence it's easy to miss the red flags of a miserable love life. It's almost as if he's caught in a paradox of loving relentlessly and yet feeling trapped and bound by society's rules about love and relationships.
The second verse talks about the singer's need for independence and how he feels like he's not ready yet to fully commit to a relationship. He acknowledges that he needs his partner in his life, but being independent people at the moment, they need to figure things out before finally committing to each other. It's about breaking free from the chains of societal norms and allowing love to take its natural course, without any rules or expectations.
The chorus is where Alex Goot drives his message across that if they could free up the laws that bind their lives, they could love. It's about being true to themselves and stripping away the rules and regulations that prevent people from experiencing love in its purest form. Finally, in the bridge, the singer draws the line and says that if they can't just learn to live their lives, then they don't have any hope at all.
Overall, "We Could Love" is a lovely track that explores the complexities of love and relationships. Alex Goot's vocals and the haunting melody create a powerful combination that will resonate with anyone who has felt the grip of societal expectations on their love life.

so maybe i'm just blind
Perhaps I am not able to see clearly
or maybe i can't see
Perhaps I am unable to comprehend something
well either one is fine
It does not matter which case it is
i speak redundantly
I repeat myself unnecessarily
its hard to see whats wrong
It is difficult to detect the issue
when you're diving in like me
When you are fully committed to something like I am
i used to love relentlessly
I used to love passionately without limits
so how can you remember everything?
How can one remember every little detail?
is there a rulebook for our love
Is there a set of rules for our relationship?
i'm not reading?
I am not aware of these supposed rules
if we could just free up the laws
If we could just let go of the restrictions
that bind our lives
That are holding us back
then we could love
Then we could truly love each other
don't get me wrong here
Do not misunderstand what I am saying
i need you in my life
I cannot imagine my life without you
but we're independent people
We have our own unique personalities
at the current time
At this moment in time
i know that years from now
I am aware that sometime in the future
a day will finally come
A moment will eventually arrive
for us to love perpetually
For us to love each other endlessly
this is where i draw the line this time
This is where I set a limit
this just has to stop right here
This situation needs to come to an end
if we can't just learn to live our lives
If we cannot just live our lives freely
then we don't have any hope at all
Then our relationship has no chance of succeeding

I don't listen to a ton of Alex Goot's stuff (I like it, don't get me wrong! It's just not much my preferred style :P), but this song in particular I really like. It's the one that has stuck with me throughout the years even after only hearing it a few times.
On that note, I spent forever trying to find this video. ^^
