What About Love
BANKS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm

I belong to no one
You belong to someone else but
Maybe if we just rewind the tape
Give me one more chance to
Give me one more chance to show you baby
Baby if you just realize what we could be
Baby if you just relearn my name, mhm
Baby if you just relearn my name, mhm

What about all the life that we could make?
We could grow older
What about love? What about love?
What about love? What about love?

I belong to no one
You belong to someone else but
Maybe if we just go back in time
Hurts to see you in real life, but
I can talk to you like this is okay
That's the only way, that's the only way, that's the only way
Promise me you will never love another, hmm
You said it when we were under the covers

What about the way kiss the same?
We could grow older
What about love? What about love?
What about love? What about love?

Yeah yeah, ohh
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh (ohh)

Ohh, ahh, ohh
Ohh, ohh (ohh)

What about, what about, what about, what about love, what about love babe?
What about, what about, what about, what about love, what about love?
What about, what about, what about, what about love, what about love babe?
What about, what about, what about, what about love, what about love babe?





I (I), love (you), you (you)
I love you (love), (I)

Overall Meaning

In "What About Love," Banks, Buddy Ross, Amy Laing, Owen Pallett, and Aron Forbes address a complicated romantic situation. The lyrics suggest that the two people involved belong to other people, but they were once in a relationship and long to rekindle it. The singer asks for another chance, urging the other person to realize what they could be together. They acknowledge the hurt of seeing each other in real life but find solace in speaking with each other. The chorus is a plea to consider the possibility of a future together, growing older and sharing a life full of love. The song ends with the singer declaring their love for the other person.


The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but it's clear that the central theme is a longing for love and the desire to be with someone despite obstacles. The lyrics create a sense of nostalgia, and the repeated "what about love" line could be seen as a way to emphasize the importance of love in their lives. The song is reflective but also hopeful, suggesting that the two people involved could find their way back to each other.
