Rich Love

I remember talking and drinking what we could find
Burnin' all those candles and stayin' up through the night
We'd make reservations for the places we know we'd never try
But then oh, we found some rich love
I remember feeling broke as a bottle of wine
I didn't move to the city to count all my pennies and worship the Hollywood sign
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
But she'd take it in one last time
And I know, 'cause I found some fake love

Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
Ooh, but drink with you all damn night
Ooh, I'm not trying to trade love
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey is just enough
We got some rich love

She'd say, "Hey man,"
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
But she'd take it in one last time and I know

Do you remember dancing? The parties out in the yard?
We would piss off the neighbors
They'd eventually call the cops
And I was saving up for something, hoping life would finally start
'Cause oh, we had some new love

Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
Ooh, but drink with you all damn night
Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

She'd say, "Hey man,"
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
But she'd take it in one last time and I know

Oh, we're broke as a bottle of wine
Said, we're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

She'd say, "Hey man,"
She'd say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
We're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

We're broke as a bottle of wine
Broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine, bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Rich Love" by OneRepublic and Seeb depicts a story of a couple who do not have a lot of money, but they have something more valuable - love. The first verse shows the couple reminiscing about their past together, talking and drinking whatever they can find, making reservations for new places they had never tried, but finding true love along the way. The chorus suggests that even though they do not have money, they have each other and that is enough to make them feel rich. The second verse speaks about the parties they used to have and how they would often upset their neighbours enough to call the police, but this never discouraged them. They were broke at this point, but they had each other, and that was a "new love," suggesting that they were continuously discovering new ways to love and appreciate each other.


However, the bridge of the song touched on the idea of "fake love," suggesting that there may have been times when they were not authentic with each other. When the woman says "Hey man, nice to meet you," she was merely being polite and not really wanting to meet the person. They were pretending to feel something that they did not. The song ends with the chorus, which suggests that even though they were broke as a bottle of wine, they had rich love, which was enough to make them feel rich.
