Love I
Lady Antebellum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I bet my buddies are out on the town tonight
Dancing in the smoke, in the glow of the neon lights
I'm sure they're out there cutting up and drinking
But I don't mind 'cause I got you by my side

With my old sweat shirt and your favorite pair of jeans
Barefoot on the couch, curled up next to me
Oh, I got everything I've ever needed
In you, I found it in you

Well maybe I'm just lucky
But maybe that's okay
Some people search the whole world over
Just to find a love, that's even half as true
As the love I've found in you
Ooo ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo

Well I wonder where I'd be if the Lord hadn't heard my prayer
The one I said every night 'til the day that you got here
You showed me how to live and love forever
With you, oh baby I love you

Well maybe I'm just lucky
But maybe that's okay
Some people search the whole world over
Just to find a love, that's even half as true
As the love I've found in you
Ooo ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo

Some things really last forever
Some things are meant to be
Like you and me
Ooh yeah

Let your love shine on
Shine on and on and on
Ooh, oh yeah

Well maybe we're just lucky
But maybe that's okay
Some people search the whole world over
Just to find a love, that's even half as true
As this love I've found in you
Ooo ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo





I've found in you
I've found in you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lady Antebellum's song "Love I've Found in You" depict a sense of contentment and gratitude towards finding true love. The singer acknowledges that while their friends may be out partying and having a good time, they are perfectly happy staying in with their partner who they believe to be their everything. The reference to their sweatshirt and their partner's favorite jeans, along with the image of them curled up on a couch, establishes an intimacy that complements the sense of fulfillment the singer feels.


The second verse adds a spiritual dimension to the song, expressing thankfulness to a higher power for answering their prayers and bringing their partner into their lives. The song's message is ultimately about recognizing the rarity of true love, and how easy it can be to take it for granted or overlook it in favor of a more exciting, but ultimately less meaningful, lifestyle. The song's chorus reinforces this idea, emphasizing that while some may spend their entire lives searching for true love, the singer feels as though they have already found it.


Overall, "Love I've Found in You" is a heartwarming tribute to a deep and fulfilling love. It rejects a superficial or surface level understanding of romance, instead choosing to explore the intimate and meaningful connection between two people who have found each other.

Does anyone else get super nostalgic listening to this song? This makes me remember driving in the car with my mother to get dinner. It makes me remember life when I had much less stress. This song doesn’t just remind me of my memories, it is a memory. I hope you all are safe and doing well during these hard times and have a good day.
















Edit 1: It’s midnight, currently. June 27, 2022! I cannot believe the amount of support this comment has received over all of this time, I feel so much genuine love for all of you. As I re-read this comment that I wrote two years ago, so seemingly straightforward, I remember just how vulnerable I had felt while writing it. I was dealing with the loss of a close friend, familial issues, and other personal troubles. Somehow, assisting others when I needed help myself was more than enough to make me feel better, at the time. If you ever need to hear it, remember that you and your well-being should always come first. Help yourself so you can be the best that you possibly can be when you lend a hand to others. Thankfully, I am more than happy to report that I’m doing so much better, now! It has taken such a long time, grieving is a long and difficult journey, one with no clear ending point. After time, however, it does get easier. You will not feel as low as that forever. Regardless, I truly wish that I could express my gratitude to you all, as I’m so incredibly fortunate to have all of these wonderful responses. I appreciate the honesty, the raw emotions that some of you shared when you replied. Never take being able to share your true feelings for granted, I love you all!

Stay safe, and once more

have a good day :))💗

Lyrics
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause,
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time


It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now


Another shot of whiskey,
can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one,
I'm a little drunk,
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now


oh ohhh...


Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now...
