Love Remains The Same
Gavin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar landing
You make me wanna run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

Find a place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city bus sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to blur
They're all the same

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me now
We shall overcome
So all that's left is praying

But we, should have had the sun
We could have been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change

I, oh I,
I wish this could last forever
I, oh I,
as if we could last forever





Love remains the same
Love remains the same

Overall Meaning

The song Love Remains the Same by Gavin Rossdale is a hauntingly beautiful ballad about a love that endures despite the trials of life. The song starts with the singer expressing his longing to be reunited with his loved one. He describes her as having a gravitational pull on him, as strong as landing on the moon. The urge to find her is so strong that he wants to shut the whole world out, and drift towards her.


The next part of the song has a slightly melancholy tone, where the singer reflects on the transient nature of life. He acknowledges the mistakes made by him and the loved one, and the consequent changes that have taken place. Despite this, the love between them remains the same. He passionately sings about the desire to find a place where they can escape together, away from the noise of the world.


The final section of the song gives a sense of determined defiance, that nothing can stop the power of love. The singer urges his loved one not to trick him by pretending that their love is not strong enough to overcome obstacles. He sings about praying and overcoming, expressing a wish that their love could have lasted forever. Finally, the chorus repeats the message that despite everything, love remains the same.
