Love Blind
Ross Ellis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then we would′ve never made it to all the picture and love letters
Ain't like I ain′t told her the truth
I guess she loves like you do
Tell all your angels to work overtime
Stay on both shoulders and keep me in-line
You walked on water, you turned it to wine
If she could feel evеry heartbreak, every mistake wonder whether She'd be taking back those three words and givin' back my sweater
She sees the soul shining through
I guess she loves like you do
Tell all your angels to work overtime
Stay on both shoulders and keep me in-line
You walked on water and turned it to wine
So Lord make me better and keep her love blind
Tell all your angels don′t leave me behind
And help me live up to the man in her mind
You walked on water and turned it to wine
So Lord make me better and keep her love blind
From now to forever, keep her love blind
In Ross Ellis's song "Love Blind," the lyrics delve into the theme of past mistakes and the fear of losing someone due to those flaws being uncovered. The singer reflects on his past struggles with alcoholism, confessing that if his partner were aware of the bottles he consumed every night before they met, their relationship may not have prospered. Despite this, he acknowledges that he has been honest with her about his past, implying that she loves him unconditionally.
The chorus then introduces a plea to a higher power, asking for assistance in maintaining the partner's blindness to his faults. The reference to angels working overtime and staying on his shoulders is a metaphorical representation of the constant need for guidance and protection. The singer perceives his partner as someone who possesses divine qualities, being able to turn ordinary situations into extraordinary ones (such as walking on water or turning it into wine). Therefore, he seeks improvement for himself while emphasizing the importance of keeping his partner's love oblivious to his shortcomings.
