Loveproof
Jon Gomm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where they keep each other safe and warm
And wait the night out
Til the morning crashes on the shore
She finds the deepest grooves
That cannot be resisted
But you can't force a man to listen
Loveproof
Love
He says he loves her
And he knows he'll mean it some day soon
The stars above her
Couldn't make her feel any smaller
So she will write a song
Where they can live together
She'll weave a tangled tun to bind forever
Loveproof
Love
You can't lead him
You can't lead
Loveproof
Loveproof
Loveproof
In Jon Gomm's song "Loveproof", he sings about a couple who live in a lighthouse, finding solace in each other's company as they weather out the stormy night. They are the only ones who can understand each other's deepest grooves, so when the man cannot seem to listen to her, she is left to write a song that encapsulates their bond, one that they can live by for the rest of their days. Despite the man's struggle to find the right words to express his love for her, she knows that someday he will mean it, and she continues to weave a tangled tune to bind them together.
This song speaks to the experience of being "loveproof," or resisting the throes of love, often due to past hurt or trauma. It can be difficult to trust someone enough to share our deepest selves with them, but the couple depicted in this song have found a way to break down their own barriers and find comfort in each other's embrace. The woman's perseverance in writing a song to bind them together shows the power of the human spirit to overcome our own limitations and to find strength in the people we love.

@rolfedrengen
You really know how to handle that guitar, tune it to sound the way that suits your plaing, move your fingers, use technology (like realtime pitch-tools), and write great melodies. In this track you challenge the musically minded people, and you do it very well - and in the same time, this could be a hit-line. Respect, from a muscian to another musician. You are outstanding, sir.
