We Found Love
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
The lyrics of "We Found Love" by Calvin Harris explore the idea of finding love in an unexpected and unlikely place. The song begins with the image of "yellow diamonds in the light" which suggests something beautiful and dazzling. The two protagonists are "standing side by side" but their shadows cross each other's, which implies that they are not exactly aligned or on the same page. Despite this, the singer confesses that the way he feels is indescribable but he also knows he needs to let go.
The chorus repeats the phrase "We found love in a hopeless place" four times which reinforces the idea that love can come from unexpected places - even from a place that initially seems hopeless. The second verse describes the desire to be with someone even if it means turning away from love and life. The singer feels the other person's heartbeat in his mind which suggests that they are deeply connected.
In conclusion, the song is about finding love in a place where it seems unlikely, and taking a leap of faith to follow that love even though it defies reasoning or sense. The lyrics and the upbeat tempo of the music create a feeling of euphoria that reflects the joy of finding love in an unexpected place.
