THE LOVE
Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I give what you give and we go even higher than we are strong
And the cracks and the walls covered up by the sheets we live underneath
All the sex, all the nights we stay up yeah we're stuck but we're more than free
Got the world in our hand like a land
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love
I can feel that you feel what I feel and I feel it all in your hands
When we touch it's too much and you're making me move now you make me dance
Going body to body for good saying nobody gets it right
We don't plan, we don't care, got the fume and the flame, we don't let it die
Got the world in our hand like a land
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love
Perfect like a picture
I know we are one in the same
Perfect like a picture even when they look through the grains
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
Oh, we got love, we got love

Essa música é BOA DEMAIS. Não entendo como ela não fez sucesso. Como deixaram esse hino passar?
@reddsolocupp
I love Tove Lo. Her music is so bad ass and deep at the same time. Love the pain in your voice. Very authentic and unique to you separating you from the other pop acts. Much success to you and your career. The US is listening and watching. Xoxo

+Kode Redd Her album Queen of the Clouds is categorized into 3 sections, all relating to her past relationships. They are divided into: Sex, Drugs, and Pain. Habits falls under the Drugs and Pain category. Talking Body falls under the Sex category.
@orlandos2000
+DevilicousDevil I think it's more Sex, Love, and Pain. Hence this song falls into the Love section.
