Tiny Love
MIKA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
It's not the outline of your face drawn in the stars
It's a "still-there-Monday-morning" kind of love

There's no dramatic declarations in the rain
It's not a love that finds its pleasure after pain
I couldn't train a bunch of doves to spell your name
It's a "don't-know-what-they're-missing" kind of love

Our kind of love, it gets better every day
Crazy colors in the grey, our love
Tiny love, it's a tiny love

My life was dull
I used to walk in a different way
But now I'm dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Don't care who can see me dancin'

Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love

This tiny love has spoken
And bigger hearts get broken
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love

So small that you can't find us
The world revolves around us
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love

This kind of love, it can't be no other way
One kind of love blows the other ones away
Sometimes it's tough, others think we're acting strange
But it's our kind of love, our kind of love

Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love

My name is Mika Holbrook
I was born in 1983
No, I'm not losing my mind
It's just this thing that you do to me
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high

And if it all goes bad
And our love sits like the sun
I'd give up a hundred thousand loves
For just this one
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high on a tiny love

It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park




We may be tiny to the world, but in our hearts
We be giants with our tiny, tiny love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mika's song "Tiny Love" convey a unique and unconventional perspective on love. The song starts by contrasting common romantic clichés, such as a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts or bursting into song in Central Park, with the reality of the singer's love. Instead, it is described as a "still-there-Monday-morning" kind of love, emphasizing its consistency and stability. It is not built on dramatic declarations or finding pleasure after pain, but rather on the subtle and ordinary moments.


Mika continues to describe how this kind of love has brought color and joy to his previously dull life. He feels liberated and unashamedly dances, not caring who can see him. The chorus repeats the phrase "tiny love," highlighting the small and intimate nature of their relationship.


The second verse emphasizes that such a love may be unorthodox and misunderstood, but it is unique to them. Others may find them strange, but they embrace their own kind of love. Mika then addresses his partner directly, expressing that they have a special power over him. He introduces himself and declares that they get him high on this tiny love.

Mika is definitively one of the most underrated artists of this generation. He’s pure genius. You can feel all the Queen, Beatles, Elton influences, but it’s in the end all Mika. Marvelous, beautiful, perfect.

@littleripper312

I got to see him in a tiny venue up close and was surprised by how good it was. I had been listening to his music for years but nothing compared to hearing him live up close. I'm baffled he's not more famous. I think he plays stadiums in Europe but when he came here it was a really cheap ticket in a tiny place.

@agtovetro3211

Lila Echezuria and David Bowie, who influenced Freddie Mercury ❤️

@prz88

Is he underrated? I thought he was pretty popular

@littleripper312

@@prz88 Maybe he's gotten more popular in recent years. When I saw him here in Canada it was a tiny little theatre with a couple hundred people. I see in European shows he plays stadiums though so either he's just not as popular here or he's gotten a lot more popular in recent years.

@user-qe3zy7cv3c

@@littleripper312 he is huge here in France so i guess it's pretty relative
