LOVE LOVE LOVE
James Bourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the perfect day
Sun sinking low in the sky
We sat and watched all the dolphins
Swim in the bay
That crazy look in your eye
We ran in slow motion
Into the ocean
Holding your hand
But then it gets hazy
And I lose you and then that's when
I wake up scared to phone her
And realize I'm a loner in love
Yeah-eh-yeah
It's still the same old story
Tears of mornin' glory
No luck
That's the reason why my life sucks
Very much
Being a loner in love
The next day I ran into your current boyfriend
Told him what we did last night
Before my story had even got to the end
He challenged me to a fight
I ran in slow motion away from him
But he caught up to me
Kicked my teeth in
Now I got no chance 'cause I can't even grin
No nothing's changing
I wake up scared to phone her
And realize I'm a loner in love
Yeah-ye-yeah
It's still the same old story
Tears of mornin' glory
No luck
That's the reason why my life sucks
Very much
Being a loner in love
We ran in slow motion
Over the sand
Into the ocean
Holding your hand
But then it gets hazy
And I lose you and then that's when
I wake up scared to phone her
Realize I'm a loner in love (yeah yeah)
It's still the same old story
Tears of morning glory
No luck
That's the reason why my life sucks
Very much
Being a loner in love
Being a loner in love
You know that it sucks
The song Love Love Love by James Bourne is a nostalgic and melancholic reflection on love, heartbreak, and regrets. The song tells a story of a perfect day spent with a lover, watching dolphins swim in the bay and running into the ocean together. However, the lyrics take a sad turn when the singer wakes up scared to phone his lover, realizing that he is "a loner in love." This feeling of isolation and loneliness is compounded when the singer runs into his lover's current boyfriend, who challenges him to a fight and kicks his teeth in, leaving him with no chance to win back his love.
The opening lines of the song set the scene for a romantic and idyllic interlude, as the sun is setting low in the sky and the singer is watching dolphins swim in the bay with his lover. The reference to the "crazy look" in his lover's eye infers that the singer is deeply captivated by his partner and is reveling in the moment. The chorus, however, conveys the singer's deep sense of loss and loneliness, highlighting how he wakes up scared and realizes he's a "loner in love." The repeated line "tears of morning glory" adds to the sense of melancholy and sadness, emphasizing how the singer's heart is breaking over his lost love.
In the second verse, the song takes a darker turn, highlighting how the singer's regret and heartbreak lead to a confrontation with his former lover's new boyfriend. The lyrics describe the fight in metaphorical terms, with the singer running away in slow motion and getting his teeth kicked in. The trauma and pain of the fight add to the singer's sense of isolation and despair, as he has lost his chance to win back his love.

It was an amazing end
The day ended beautifully
To the perfect day
The day was perfect
Sun sinking low in the sky
The sun was setting
We sat and watched all the dolphins
They watched the dolphins swimming in the bay
Swim in the bay
The dolphins were swimming in the bay
That crazy look in your eye
The person he was with had a crazy look in their eye
We ran in slow motion
They ran slowly
Over the sand
They were running over sand
Into the ocean
They ran into the ocean
Holding your hand
He was holding her hand while they ran into the ocean
But then it gets hazy
After that moment it's not as clear
And I lose you and then that's when
He lost the person he was with
I wake up scared to phone her
He didn't want to talk to her because he was scared
And realize I'm a loner in love
He realizes he's alone in his love
It's still the same old story
His love story is still the same
Tears of mornin' glory
He cries in the morning
No luck
He has no luck in love
That's the reason why my life sucks
He thinks his life sucks because of his love life
Very much
He really thinks his life sucks because of love
Being a loner in love
He is alone in love
The next day I ran into your current boyfriend
He saw his ex's current boyfriend
Told him what we did last night
He told him what he did with his ex
Before my story had even got to the end
Before he finished his story
He challenged me to a fight
The boyfriend challenged him to a fight
I ran in slow motion away from him
He ran away slowly from the boyfriend
But he caught up to me
The boyfriend caught up to him
Kicked my teeth in
The boyfriend beat him up
Now I got no chance 'cause I can't even grin
He can't even smile because his teeth are knocked out
No nothing's changing
Nothing is getting better
Realize I'm a loner in love (yeah yeah)
He realizes he's alone in love
You know that it sucks
He thinks it sucks to be alone in love
