It Must Be Love
R. Bruce Lyrics

Hello evil spirit
The artist is speaking to a personified evil spirit and expressing his feelings which he cannot put into words

Speaking can’t tell you how I’m feeling
Words fail to describe the depth of the artist's emotions

So I tried to write you a symphony
The artist attempted to express how he feels through music

I’m still trying to find the lyrics
The artist is struggling to find the right words to convey his feelings

But I doubt you’ll ever hear it
The artist knows that the evil spirit is unlikely to listen to his message

I bet plenty mouths try to reach your ears
Many people attempt to gain the evil spirit's favor

But all of them regular
The people trying to reach the evil spirit are average and unremarkable

You could do better than them
The artist believes the evil spirit deserves someone more special

If you would hear me
The artist wishes the evil spirit would listen to him

Baby you could be my goddess
The artist wishes to elevate the evil spirit to a divine status in his eyes

Aphrodite and I could write your bible
The artist compares the evil spirit to the Greek goddess of love, and offers to create a scripture in her honor

I’ll worship you we could start
The artist offers to worship the evil spirit and create a new religion in her honor

A new religion and spread your light
The artist wants to share the good influence of the evil spirit with others

Baby I could give you my world
The artist is willing to give up everything for the evil spirit

I’ll give you my heart and make you my home
The artist is offering his love and loyalty to the evil spirit

Baby we could be royalty
The artist wishes to share a royal status with the evil spirit

I could make you my queen
The artist wants to elevate the evil spirit to a queenly status in his eyes

And give you a seat upon the throne
The artist wishes to share a royal status with the evil spirit

When the night falls
Referring to a time of vulnerability

Frees our souls
The darkness allows us to let go and feel free

When that height draws near, dear
Referring to a feeling of euphoria or being on top of the world

You’ll fly home
The artist believes that the evil spirit's true home is in the sky

You’re heaven sent
The artist believes that the evil spirit is a divine being sent from heaven

You fell from above
The artist believes that the evil spirit descended from the heavens

So if my sky falls
Referring to a feeling of the world coming crashing down

Then it must be love
The artist believes that the feeling of the world ending can only be attributed to love

I reach for you beyond my grip
The artist is pushing beyond his physical limitations to reach the evil spirit

Over the edge and I might slip
The artist is willing to take risks to reach the evil spirit

Then I would be falling for you
The artist would be falling in love with the evil spirit

Falling in love
The artist is falling in love with the evil spirit

Everybody chasing ladies
Many people are pursuing romantic relationships

I, I, I, been chasing dragons
The artist has been preoccupied with something challenging or addictive

I’m attracted like a magnet
The artist feels inexplicably drawn to the evil spirit

Your pull is stronger than imagined
The artist is surprised by how much he is drawn to the evil spirit

I’m afflicted with your magic
The artist is under the spell of the evil spirit

And addicted to your madness
The artist is in love with the wild, unpredictable nature of the evil spirit

No need to rehab this habit
The artist is uninterested in changing his behavior or feelings

When I see you, damn it
The artist is overwhelmed with emotion when he sees the evil spirit

That feel would make me relapse
The artist worries that seeing the evil spirit will bring back his intense feelings

It’s a feel beyond lust a feel with all trust
The artist's feelings go beyond physical attraction, and he trusts the evil spirit entirely

A feel beyond “me's” or “you's” about us
The artist's feelings transcend individual identity, and are centered around the relationship between himself and the evil spirit

A feel beyond dawn a feel beyond dusk
The artist's feelings are timeless and exist outside of the cycle of day and night

A feel beyond ashes feel beyond dust
The artist's feelings are eternal and exist beyond death

A feel that’s so deep that we lose the sun
The artist's feelings are so intense that they obscure the source of light and life

A feel that’s so high that we fly above
The artist's feelings are elevated and transcendent, reaching beyond the physical world

Comfortably numb consumed with our crumbs
The artist is content and indifferent to the world around him, as long as he has the love of the evil spirit

Can’t think I feel dumb I feel- I feel- I feel
The artist is so overwhelmed with emotion that he cannot verbalize his thoughts and feelings

Tell me bout the stars
The artist wants to know more about the beauty and wonder of the world

I’ve never been that high
The artist is eager to experience new and intense feelings

Take me to your world
The artist wants to experience the world through the eyes of the evil spirit

Show me how to fly
The artist wants to experience the feeling of euphoria and transcendence that the evil spirit embodies

This must be love
The artist recognizes that the intense feelings he is experiencing can only be attributed to love

Falling in love
The artist is falling deeper in love with the evil spirit
