Love Is Still the Answer
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To say our hello's and goodbye's and then disappear
This beautiful life, what is it for?
To learn how to master peace or master war
There's only one answer that matters
Even if your heart has been shattered
Whatever you want, whatever you are after
Love is still the answer
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
We all make mistakes, no, we're not perfect yet
Maybe God made us all from an accident
And the question that sits on everyone's lips
Is why should we pick ourselves up and start over again
There's only one answer that matters
Even if your heart has been shattered
Whatever you want, whatever you are after
Love is still the answer
Love is still the answer
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
The question I'll ask at the end of my days
Is what did I give and what will I take
There's only one answer that matters
Even if your heart and your dreams have been shattered
Whatever you want, whatever you are after
Love is still the answer
Love is still the answer
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love is still the answer
Jason Mraz's song "Love Is Still The Answer" is a contemplative reflection on life, purpose, and love. The first verse sets up the existential question of why we are here and what the purpose of life is. Mraz contrasts the possibilities of mastering peace or war, suggesting that the human experience can be defined by one's choices. The chorus offers the titular answer of love being the solution to life's questions and problems, even when the heart has been broken.
The second verse acknowledges the fallibility of humanity but poses the idea that perhaps this imperfection is purposeful, leading to the question of why one should keep trying. Once again, love is presented as the ultimate answer to this question. The final verse expresses the desire to live a life filled with love and generosity, and to be able to look back on a life well-lived.
Overall, "Love Is Still The Answer" is a song that calls for a more compassionate and loving world. Positively affirming the idea that Love is the answer to our problems, regardless of how complicated they may seem.
Line by Line Meaning
The question is why, why are we here?
What is the purpose of our existence?
To say our hello's and goodbye's and then disappear
Our lives are transient and fleeting
This beautiful life, what is it for?
What is the meaning behind our existence in this world
To learn how to master peace or master war
To determine whether we will contribute to peace or violence
There's only one answer that matters
There's only one true solution to our predicaments
Even if your heart has been shattered
Despite being hurt, the answer remains the same
Whatever you want, whatever you are after
No matter what you seek, the answer remains unchanging
Love is still the answer
The solution lies in love
Love, love, love, love
Love (in its various forms) is essential
We all make mistakes, no, we're not perfect yet
No one is infallible, we are all prone to errors and faults
Maybe God made us all from an accident
We may have come into existence by chance
And the question that sits on everyone's lips
The pervasive question that everyone asks themselves
Is why should we pick ourselves up and start over again
Why should we bother to rise after we have fallen?
The question I'll ask at the end of my days
The inquiry that will weigh heavy as I approach the end of my life
Is what did I give and what will I take
Have I positively impacted the world? What will I leave behind?
Even if your heart and your dreams have been shattered
Regardless of how much you've lost, the solution remains
Love is still the answer
The solution still lies in love
Love, love, love, love
Love (in its various forms) is still crucial
Love, love, love
Love is the ultimate answer
