This Years Love
David Gray Lyrics

This year's love had better last
The love that has started this year needs to be strong enough to weather any challenges and continue to last.

Heaven knows it's high time
It is long overdue that the singer found love after waiting for so long.

I've been waiting on my own too long
The singer has felt lonely and has been searching for love for a long time, without success.

And when ya hold me like you do
When the singer is embraced by their lover, it feels like everything is right in the world.

It feels so right oh now
Being held by the lover gives the singer a sense of completeness and satisfaction.

I start to forget how my heart gets torn
The happy feeling of being with the lover makes the singer forget about the pain of heartbreak and past failed relationships.

When that hurt gets thrown
When heartbreak occurs, it can be devastating and leave someone feeling hurt and alone.

Feeling like you can't go on
The weight of the pain can make it hard to move on and find happiness again.

Turning circles and time again
The cycle of finding love, getting hurt, and then searching for love again seems to be endless.

Cut like a knife oh now
The pain of heartbreak can be so sharp and intense that it feels like a knife has cut through the heart.

If ya love me got to know for sure
The singer needs to be sure that their lover's feelings are true and not just empty words.

'Cause it takes something more this time
The singer needs more than just empty promises, they need true commitment and effort from their lover.

Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
The singer has had enough of being lied to and wants honesty and sincerity from their partner.

Before I open up my arms and fall
The singer is afraid of opening up their heart and being vulnerable again, only to be hurt.

Losing all control
Falling in love can be so intense that the singer feels like they are losing control of themselves and their emotions.

Every dream inside my soul
The singer's deepest desires and wishes are tied to finding love and being happy.

When ya kiss me on that midnight street
Even something as simple as a kiss from the lover can make the singer's heart soar and feel alive.

Sweep me off my feet
The intense feeling of love can be so strong that it feels like the singer is being lifted off the ground by their emotions.

Singing "ain't this life so sweet?"
The singer is overwhelmed with happiness at finally finding love and being able to enjoy life to the fullest.

'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
Even if things don't work out and the singer gets hurt again, there's no point in worrying about it because life goes on.

Don't ya know this life goes on?
Life doesn't stop just because you get hurt or go through difficult times, so it's important to keep moving forward.

Woah woah woah I yeah
The singer is overcome with emotion and is expressing their joy and excitement at finding love.
