Love Is Blinding
The High Violets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel that love it is blinding,
He can't see anyone but her.
She flew away long ago with the band and a model,
Still he thinks he can win back her love.
Too high, you are too blind.
You don't have to hold my hand,

I understand he said then added this thought.
Her life is stormy and fame's left her lonely,
Without me it's all shallow and dark.
Too high,

You are too blind.
Keep that soul alive,

Where there's truth you'll hide.
Too high,

You are too blind.

You are...





You are to blind.
