Only Love
Nesbitt Nina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now he's acting similar, 'cause you're the one now that's biting me
His feelings are crushed like rock salt on the table
'Cause you're now the one that's got a bit more flavor
I've never met someone that's made me feel quite this way
I've never met someone that's actually stayed
Only love can make this real for me and you
Only love can make me feel the way I do
Only love can make me see the world the way I do
Now I'm with you
He passed his sell by date, we don't go out 'cause he turns sour
I could think of a million ways, we could spend just one hour
His feelings are crushed like rock salt on the table
I guess I fell for love, says the paper
I've never met someone that's made me feel quite this way
I've never met someone that's actually stayed
'Cause only love can make me feel the way I do
Only love can make this real for me and you
Only love can make me feel the way I do
Only love can make me see the world the way I do
Now I'm with you, oh oh oh oh
Don't let me go, 'cause I'm falling for you
Oh oh oh oh
I wanna know, if you're falling for me too
I've never met someone that's made me feel quite this way
I've never met someone that's actually stayed
'Cause only love can make me feel the way I do
Only love can make this real for me and you
Only love can make me feel the way I do
Only love can make me see the world the way I do
Now I'm with you
In "Only Love," Nesbitt Nina sings about the power of love and the transformative effect it can have on a relationship. The bitter lemons referred to in the first verse serve as a metaphor for the biting behavior of her partner. He has become similar to the lemons she bites into, making her feel as though she is being bitten. The subsequent lines describe the change in their relationship dynamic as he has now become emotionally crushed and she has become the one with more flavor, as if now she is the one with power over their relationship.
The chorus talks about the impact of love on both the singer and her partner. It highlights the idea that love is the only thing that can make them feel this way and make the relationship real. That love can transform their perception of the world and make them see things through a new lens. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of love and how it is the foundation of their connection.
The second verse describes her previous relationship, which has since gone bad. Her previous partner is now past his sell by date, and his feelings are also crushed. In contrast, with her current partner, she can think of a million ways they could spend just one hour together, highlighting the excitement and change that love brings into her current relationship.
Overall, "Only Love" talks about the importance and transformative effects of love. The lyrics explore how love can change a person's perception of their partner and the world around them, making it a powerful force in any relationship.
