Oh My Love
Inara George and Bryony Atkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes us say all the things that we're wanting, aloud
Close up the house as fast as you can
For the rest of the night tell me how we began
Oh my love
Oh my love
Of my love, of my love
Oh
My love
What will we make that will keep us around
We are sending this up never keeping it down
How old will we be when we come to our end?
Nevermind, nevermind, let me tell you again
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh and the size
Of my love, of my love
Oh
My love
Oh, my love
Oh, and the rain, and the lying about
Makes us say all the things that we're wanting, aloud
The lyrics to "11 Oh My Love" by Inara George delve into the concept of love and how it can be expressed in different ways. It starts with a mention of rain and lying about, which suggests that there may be dishonesty in the relationship. However, the following lines indicate that this can be a way for partners to express their desires and wants. By being more candid about their feelings, they can tell each other exactly what they want from the relationship.
The next verse is about closing up the house quickly and discussing how the relationship began. This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for closing off their past selves and starting anew, focusing on building the future of their relationship. The repetition of "Oh my love" throughout the song gives the impression of deep affection and commitment to the partner.
The chorus talks about the size of love, which can be interpreted in different ways. It could relate to the magnitude of feelings that they experience towards one another or the scope of their future. The bridge of the song questions what they will do to keep their relationship strong and whether it will survive the test of time. However, the singer reassures the listener that the end doesn't matter as long as they are together.
