The Bird And The Bee feat. Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel you touch me in the pourin' rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, is your love
How deep is your love, I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools, breakin' us down
They should all just let us be, we belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think that I care for you
Well, you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, is your love
How deep is your love, I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools, breakin' us down
They should all just let us be, we belong to you and me
Ta, la, la, la, ta, ta, la, la, la, ta, ta, la, ta
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, is your love
How deep is your love, I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools, breakin' us down
They should all just let us be, we belong to you and me
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?

I'll know your eyes in the morning sun
I'll recognize the familiar glint in your eyes when the sun rises
I feel you touch me in the pourin' rain
I can sense your tender embrace, even amidst the rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
When I can't feel your presence near me anymore
I wanna feel you in my arms again
I yearn to hold you close, to feel the warmth of your embrace once again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
You arrive in my life gently, like a warm summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
Wrap me in your affection, and then depart gently
And it's me you need to show
You must reveal your true emotions and intentions only to me
How deep is your love, is your love
How profound and enduring are your feelings for me?
How deep is your love, I really need to learn
I am eager to truly understand the extent of your devotion
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools, breakin' us down
The foolishness of the world constantly threatens to ruin our bond
They should all just let us be, we belong to you and me
Everyone else should simply leave us alone, for ours is a love that only we can truly comprehend
I believe in you
I have full faith and trust in you
You know the door to my very soul
You understand me deeply, perhaps even more than I do myself
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
When everything seems bleak, you provide the hope and optimism that sustain me
You're my savior when I fall
When I falter and stumble, you are always there to pick me back up
And you may not think that I care for you
You may sometimes doubt my affection for you
Well, you know down inside that I really do
But deep down, you know that my love for you is genuine and unwavering
Ta, la, la, la, ta, ta, la, la, la, ta, ta, la, ta
A nonsensical refrain, perhaps a playful expression of the joy and contentment that love can bring
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
Again, a heartfelt plea to know the depths of the other's feelings
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
A repetition of the above, underscoring the importance of this question
