Love Birds
The Gospel Whiskey Runners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Different worlds that don't mean a thing
You met me inside a different way
And now, everything is starting to change
Oh, that winter was a cold one
That snow rode away and you showed up
Like that bird, I'm flying higher for love
Cut my hair, change my name, I'm moving on
In a different way
Oh, that winter was a cold one
That snow rode away and you showed up
Like that bird, I'm flying higher for love
Oh, that winter was a cold one
That snow rode away and you showed up
Like that bird, I'm flying higher for love
The Gospel Whiskey Runners' "Love Birds" is a song about two people from completely different backgrounds who have found love against all odds. The opening lyrics, "You and me, come from different worlds, Different worlds that don't mean a thing, You met me inside a different way, And now, everything is starting to change" suggest that despite their differences, they have been able to find a connection and are now experiencing a change in their lives.
The reference to winter and the cold emphasizes the feeling of isolation before they found each other, "Oh, that winter was a cold one, That snow rode away and you showed up". The mention of a bird is a metaphor for the feeling of freedom and the release of tension that accompanies finding love where it wasn't thought to be possible, "Like that bird, I'm flying higher for love". The subsequent lyrics suggest that the singer is embracing this newfound freedom by making changes in their life, "Cut my hair, change my name, I'm moving on, In a different way".
Overall, "Love Birds" is a song about how love has the ability to transcend circumstances and bring two people together despite their differences. The lyrics explore the emotions that come with finding love in an unexpected place and suggest that love has the power to change lives for the better.
