The Love
Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tove Lo's song "Got Love" is an ode to the overwhelming and all-consuming feeling of love. The lyrics speak to the physical and emotional sensations that come with being in a deep and committed relationship. The opening lines about breathing into each other and feeling it to the bone suggest a sense of shared intimacy and an intense connection that goes beyond the surface level. The mention of cracks and walls being covered up by the sheets they live underneath could be interpreted as the couple's ability to overcome obstacles together and find comfort in each other's arms.
Throughout the song, Tove Lo describes the power of their love, which can make the world seem small and insignificant. Reference is made to "making the ocean look like it's a pond" and "turning valleys into mountain tops," conveying the idea that with this love anything is possible. Tove Lo's repetition of "we got love" emphasizes the strength and certainty of their bond. Furthermore, the lyrics portray a shared sense of adventure and spontaneity, where they "don't plan" or "care," but rather embrace the flames of passion.
Line by Line Meaning
When I breathe and I breathe into you and I feel it right to the bone
I feel an intense connection with you that goes deep into my core
And I give what you give and we go even higher than we are strong
Our love makes us grow beyond our limits
And the cracks and the walls covered up by the sheets we live underneath
The flaws and issues in our relationship are hidden beneath the surface
All the sex, all the nights we stay up yeah we're stuck but we're more than free
Though our passion keeps us up all night, we are not trapped – we are truly free
Got the world in our hand like a land
We are in control and can do anything we want
Good enough to make the ocean look like it's a pond
Our love is so strong that even the vast ocean seems small in comparison
Good enough to turn the valleys into mountain tops
Our love can transform any challenge into a triumph
And we live like legends now, know that would never die
We have an eternal love that will always be remembered
I can feel that you feel what I feel and I feel it all in your hands
Our love is tangible and I can feel it when we touch
When we touch it's too much and you're making me move now you make me dance
Our physical connection is overwhelming and makes me feel alive
Going body to body for good saying nobody gets it right
We are committed to each other and have found something special that others may not understand
We don't plan, we don't care, got the fume and the flame, we don't let it die
We are spontaneous and passionate, and we refuse to let our love fade away
Perfect like a picture
Our love is flawless and beautiful
I know we are one in the same
We are meant to be together and are two parts of a whole
Even when they look through the grains
Despite any imperfections, our love still shines through

I always knew I wanted to make something majestic visually for this but I couldn’t quite see it until my darlings #alaskafilmes came to me with the most incredible idea; a musical sci-fi love story set in the 70’s starring me and Annie 3000. So much passion and hard work went into creating this video, I’m so grateful for my beautiful team, Alaska’s and #iconaclast team for making it possible. ARE YOU READY TO CRY AND DANCE WITH ME?? ❤️🔥
