Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Now we're back in love city
It's written in the stars and our cars have all been keyed
If you don't speak the language, it's impossible to read
Our destiny is waiting and our fate is on the phone
Can't find the truth if you don't know where it grows
It's as rare as real pleasure and celebrities at shows
There are things I've never told you 'cause I haven't got the guts
But I hope it doesn't matter
Ready now, ready now
The world knows I'm in love with you
Ready now, oh
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
So we're savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
I drink to drown my sorrows but they always learn to swim
Thank you very much, yes, I am a little thin
When I exorcise my demons, I just take 'em to the gym
But I hope it doesn't matter
Seven years sober, couldn't give you up for lent
So I never even questioned if your cookies had consent
I acted on an urge, now I sit here and lament
But I hoped it wouldn't matter
Ready now, ready now
The world knows I'm in love with you
Ready now, oh
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
So we're savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
So we're savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
The Vaccines’s song “In Love” is about two lovers who are trying their best to make their relationship work. They are savin’ up and trying to find their way back to “love city”, where things were better between them. It seems as though the relationship is currently tumultuous as the lyrics mention “our cars have all been keyed,” an indication of a major conflict. The fate of their relationship is uncertain as the lyrics proclaim “our destiny is waiting and our fate is on the phone”, but there is still hope as they are “savin’ up” to make things work.
The song also touches upon some heavy themes like the difficulty of finding truth, the cost of fame, and the struggle with addiction. The line “Can’t find the truth if you don’t know where it grows, it’s as rare as real pleasure and celebrities at shows” highlights how difficult it can be to find authenticity in a world that is obsessed with image and superficiality. The line “I drink to drown my sorrows but they always learn to swim” is an allusion to the struggle with addiction and how the pain is always present.
The song is ultimately about the power of love and how it can make people do crazy things. It is about being willing to make sacrifices, like spending all their money on each other, and about not giving up on someone even when times get tough. The repetition of “Savin’ up, now we’re back in love city” reinforces their commitment to each other and their hope for a better future together.

Savin' up, now we're back in love city
We're saving money so we can return to the place where we found love
It's written in the stars and our cars have all been keyed
Our fate is predetermined, and someone vandalized our cars
If you don't speak the language, it's impossible to read
Without understanding the culture, it's hard to grasp the situation
Our destiny is waiting and our fate is on the phone
Our future is calling and we need to answer it
Saying, "don't forget your papers for the satisfaction zone"
We need to bring the necessary documentation to prove our eligibility for something
Can't find the truth if you don't know where it grows
The truth is elusive if you don't know where to look for it
It's as rare as real pleasure and celebrities at shows
The truth is hard to find, even harder than experiencing true pleasure or meeting famous people
There are things I've never told you 'cause I haven't got the guts
I'm withholding information from you because I'm too afraid to tell you

But I hope it won't have a negative impact on our relationship
Ready now, ready now, the world knows I'm in love with you
I'm ready to publicly declare my love for you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't purchase love because we used all our money on you

I try to escape my problems through alcohol, but they always resurface
Thank you very much, yes, I am a little thin
I appreciate your comment, but I am aware that I am skinny
When I exorcise my demons, I just take 'em to the gym
When I try to rid myself of my problems, I go to the gym to work them out
Seven years sober, couldn't give you up for lent
Even though I've been sober for seven years, I still can't give you up for lent
So I never even questioned if your cookies had consent
I didn't ask for permission before taking something from you
I acted on an urge, now I sit here and lament
I followed my instincts, and now I regret my actions
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't purchase love because we used all our money on you
Savin' up, now we're back in love city
We're saving money so we can return to the place where we found love

Oh don't be unkind
I'm trying to listen to you
I thought that you wanted me too
But it's kind of difficult to do
Hey don't know it though
We're at the end of the line
And I might be end of my wins
But I guess that everything fixed
But I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
You thought it over
Over and over again
And now you're walking away
And now you're walking away
Now that you're older
Now that it's all in the past
I want it all afternoon
But I hope that I'll see you soon
Cause I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love
Yo

Went to my first concert to see the vaccines 2 years ago with my ex who wasn't my ex at the time obviously but it was getting close to the end if we're being brutally honest.. anyway this song was one that stuck with my memories and I rendered it our song. Miss her like hell and back, it's rare you find a soul mate in life; she had that effect on you. Hopefully putting this here for all the fandom to see will increase my odds of getting the universe to push her back to me, back to us :( I fucked up

I love you guys, you make me feel in love and alive. You’re awesome, can’t wait for the new EP, come to Mexico City again please
Tanya Chapman
I can’t describe how beautiful I think this song is..
Faryal Ahmed Nadeem
This song reminds me of a situation I’m in, where someone has expressed their love, but I’m moving out and away from it. Can’t quite figure out the right words to convey this, but with each day he falls more in love, and I, away from the situation.

Same but the converse
