Love
Josh and Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today
The empty bed she left me, cold on one side
Can't believe
Only me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, oh, where are you
Can I cope with today
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
But I'll control my feelings
I find faith, healing
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so long
But I'm gonna be strong
Oh, what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound
And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin'
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
Oh, my love is leavin' me
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, oh, where are you
My love
Breathing your perfume chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true
Asking you
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
Yeah, my love is leavin' me
Yeah that's what you heard
Oh I'm free as a bird
Leavin', leavin'
Oh my love is leavin' me
Leavin'
My love is leavin'
Oh, yes, my love is leavin' me
Yeah that's what you heard
Oh, yes I'm free as a bird
Leavin'
My love is leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin'
The song "Love in 2-3" by Josh White and Steve Bartlett is a mournful lament about the destructive power of love. The song starts with the singer addressing love directly, calling it "careless" and accusing it of flying through their head like wine. Love has wrecked the lives of many poor girls, and it has nearly done the same to the singer's life. The second verse continues this idea, accusing love of making the singer break many true vows and setting their soul on fire. Love has taken away all their happiness and replaced it with weary old blues, causing the singer to walk and talk to themselves.
The third verse is perhaps the most bitter, as the singer directs their anger at love directly, saying that it's too late for them to trust it. Love has made them throw their old friend down, and they sing a song of hate to express their feelings. The final verse is a desperate plea for release from the pain caused by love. The singer weeps and moans night and day, and they believe that love has brought the wrong man into their life. They vow to atone for their sins until judgment day.
Overall, "Love in 2-3" is a haunting portrayal of the dangers of love and the way it can consume a person's life. The lyrics are full of powerful imagery and emotional depth, making it a truly memorable song.
