The Story Of Love
Ott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On and on we could go
On and on this way forever
Willing to feel this love and pain
Only in careful measure never asking for too much,
never taking more than we need,
guarding our trust like frightened refugees

* Chorus:
I've seen your picture in the story of love
A thousands of words could never say enough
I know your store could turn on us
Let's start a chapter in the story of love

Promises are made and promises are often broken
Don't let it take away the meaning of these words I've spoken
Wanna make that leap of faith to the arms of eternity
I'll be unafraid but you got to be there for me
(Chorus)

Alone and never easy together hard but easier
understanding what I need and it's union, communion




The very best of everything
(Chorus)
