Submarine Symphonika
The Submarines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you live in the city and you want it to burn
Because you think nobody could learn
The delicate demons and loneliest ways
Of a heart that's been broken

Say what you will
Love finds you even when you've given it up
One after another you've seen love affairs turn
From the glorious start to the crash and burn
But now that you've promised never again
It's exactly when you'll fall in


You've sworn off clubs and bars
Fridays with the girls
You say home's where you'll be
But soon your own sweet love
Who needs you will be lying in your arms


Say what you will
Love finds you even when you've given it up


Everybody deserves to be adored
Why would you settle for less when the world gives you more?

The hurt has you now but it'll soon make you strong
And your loveliness goes on and on

Say what you will
(Love a heart that's been broken)
Love finds you even when you've given it up

Say what you will




(You can say it again and again till the whole world knows about it)
Love finds you even when you've given it up

Everybody deserves to be adored
Why would you settle for less
When the world gives you more?
The hurt has you now
But soon it'll make you strong
And your loveliness goes on and on
Say what you will
Love a heart that's been broken
Love finds you even when
You've given up
