We'll Make A Lover Of You
Les Savy Fav Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stake your claim- it's so hard to hold."
I say, "We've struck a vein and it's wide as a road!"
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
We filled up our pockets till they would explode
And called the whole world here so they could behold
The light of our love beats the dark and the cold
Have we got love enough to go around?
Why don't you get a piece and pass it down?
Even a hundred million years from now
The love we make will still be putting out
I get the best of you, you get the best of me.
You know I come to you across the broadest sea.
For just a speck of you I'd trade the whole of me.
I wish each peck from you would last eternity.
Where the skin's thin and where the skin gathers.
When you're moving in and see it's all that matters.
Records left skipping, clothing all scattered,
A kiss in the kitchen, the dishes all shattered
We'll make a lover of you.
The lyrics to Les Savy Fav's song We'll Make A Lover Of You touch on the subject of love and its timeless nature. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song, speaking to the elusive nature of finding love that is rare and valuable. The second line speaks to the difficulties that arise in maintaining a hold on that love, as if it is easily lost or taken away. However, the vocalist argues that they have struck gold, they've found something that is wide as a road and seemingly endless.
The chorus of the song brings in the idea of sharing that love with others, sharing it so that it lasts beyond just one moment or one relationship. Even millions of years into the future, the love that is shared will still exist and be felt. The second verse expands on this idea of sharing love, highlighting that both individuals involved in the relationship are giving their best to one another. They're willing to trade everything for just a speck of the other.
The final stanza of the lyrics adds to the sensual nature of the song, describing intimate moments between two lovers. The imagery used is specific yet vague, allowing the listener to imagine themselves within the situation. The final line, "We'll make a lover of you," is a promise of sorts. The vocalist is claiming that they can take anyone and make them into a lover.

Dicen: "Una vez que has encontrado el amor, es más raro que el oro.
Usted apuesta su reclamo, es tan difícil de mantener ".
Yo digo: "¡Nos hemos topado con una vena y es ancha como un camino!"
¿Tenemos suficiente amor para todos?
¿Por qué no coges una pieza y la pasas?
Incluso dentro de cien millones de años
El amor que hacemos todavía se apagará
Nos llenamos los bolsillos hasta que explotaran
Y llamó a todo el mundo aquí para que pudieran contemplar
La luz de nuestro amor vence a la oscuridad y al frío
¿Tenemos suficiente amor para todos?
¿Por qué no coges una pieza y la pasas?
Incluso dentro de cien millones de años
El amor que hacemos todavía se apagará
Saco lo mejor de ti, tú sacas lo mejor de mí.
Sabes que vengo a ti a través del mar más ancho.
Por solo una pizca de ti, cambiaría todo mi ser.
Deseo que cada beso tuyo dure una eternidad.
Donde la piel es fina y donde la piel se junta.
Cuando te mudas y ves que es lo único que importa.
Los registros se saltaron, la ropa se desparramó,
Un beso en la cocina, los platos destrozados
Te haremos un amante.
"encaso si hay errores porfa ayudame! estoy aprendiendo espanol de nuevo!gracias por su paciencia"
