I Found Love
Amber Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
Oh, and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
The lyrics of "I Found" by Amber Run is about the discovery of love in an unexpected place, and the confusion and uncertainty that comes with it. In the first verse, the singer talks about using the other person as a warning sign of what might happen if he talks too much sense, and how they serve as a focal point to keep him in line. The second verse delves into the feeling of missing the person more than he thought he would, and how they serve as a gauge to decide how much to give and take.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I found love where it wasn't supposed to be" four times, emphasizing the unexpected nature of the discovery. The singer recognizes that the situation is not what he expected or planned for, but he can't deny the feelings he has found. The last line "talk some sense to me" shows the confusion and uncertainty, as the singer seeks guidance and clarity from the person he found love with.
Overall, the song captures the conflicting emotions of finding unexpected love, navigating the uncertainties that come with it, and the desire for a clear understanding of the situation.

@BerryFoodie
I love this song because it can be taken in so many ways
It can be about a breakup
It can be about a toxic relationship
It can be about fake friends
It can be about abusive relationships
It can be about manipulation
It can be about family problems
It can be about getting attached to someone or something you knew you shouldn't
It can be interpreted in so many ways, can be a song people going through any amount of things can relate to. It's almost comforting

@paggw3lly808
I feel like there's 2 meanings to this. One side missing someone when you expected to not miss them so much, explains how broken you are. The other side is talking about how you can find love right when you least expect it.
@Yagigab
I see it the way that, you fall in love with a friend of yours but they want to stay that... idk lol
@sabrinaszabo9355
I picture realizing that it was here within myself all along and all I needed was to figure that out
@sleepforever9793
Or you find love when you least expected it, and they broke that forever promise and you miss them more than you thought you could
