The Softies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and you're past the line between I like and I love
but I'm trusting you to always be mine and be true
and there's no reason we can't call it what it is
it's love it's love, it's love it's love
there's a good chance any time of the day
I haven't slept in days and I know that I'll feel this always
and there's no reason we can't call it what it is
it's love it's love, it's love it's love
I can't help but tell everyone
this is the best thing I've ever done
I owe you everything
you turned my winter to spring
this must be love
The Softies's song "It's Love" is a song that speaks of the realization of true love. The lyrics in the song express the strong emotional connection that is felt when one falls in love. The first verse describes the person as being a "sure sign of heaven above" and that they have crossed the line between liking them and loving them. However, despite this jump, the person singing trusts that the one they have fallen for will always be there and will always be true.
The chorus repeats the phrase "it's love, it's love" as a reaffirmation of the feelings that have been experienced. The second verse speaks about the constant thoughts that they have about the person they love, even to the point where they cannot sleep because of the intensity of their emotions. Despite these strong feelings, there is a sense of certainty that this affection will never diminish or fade away.
The final verse and the repetition of the chorus further emphasize the strength and sincerity of the emotions experienced. The singer cannot help but tell everyone that this love is the best thing they have ever done and that they owe everything to the person who has turned their life around. The lyrics of the song express the deep, intense passion that comes with love.
