Heart and Soul
Ugly Heroes Lyrics

You don't seem to understand what love is about
Addressing someone who doesn't understand what love really means.

You young punks go to the movies a couple of times
Mocking young people who think that a few trips to the movies equates to love.

Do a little necking and you think you're in love
Further mocking young people for thinking that physical affection equals love.

Yeah, well if you don't believe in faith then what's this?
Asking a rhetorical question about the importance of faith in love.

World full of lies, let's trust this
Choosing to trust in love despite the dishonesty in the world.

Uh, when the sky falls we'll hold hands and watch
Expressing commitment to stay together through tough times.

There's no skyscraper could crush this
Reiterating the strength and solidity of their love.

Yeah, yeah, you been there for me
Acknowledging the support and loyalty of their partner.

Unconditional, which is something rare for me
Expressing gratitude for the rare and valuable quality of unconditional love.

Yeah, she knew what she was getting into
Talking about how their partner understood their love of music.

Knew I loved music but thought she was instrumental
Their partner thought they were merely a supportive aspect of their music career.

Mental chemistry plus picture-perfect smile
Explaining the connection between mental and physical attraction.

We walked single file into destiny
Emphasizing the idea of fate bringing them together.

Had to lecture me, I needed patience
Acknowledging the need for patience and guidance in their relationship.

Cause she was coming off of something awful
Recognizing the struggles that their partner had faced in the past.

So was I so I was thoughtful
Acknowledging their own past struggles and how it informed their actions in the relationship.

Told her I would wait for her to be comfortable first but this was fate
Assuring their partner that they would wait until they were ready for the relationship to progress.

I knew that if I stayed around that she would come around
Believing that their patience and presence would ultimately lead to their partner reciprocating their feelings.

A rapper from the underground was used to all the runaround
Acknowledging their previous struggles with relationships in their music career.

I wonder now years later what if I had given up
Reflecting on what might have happened if they had not persevered in the relationship.

What if I had not identified that I had been given luck
Thinking about how luck played a role in them finding their partner.

With this one-of-a-kind dime the coin flip
Describing their partner as unique and priceless.

Used to getting used and poisoned, now I have a friendship
Contrasting their past relationships, which were harmful, with their current relationship, which is based on friendship.

A love I'm never on the fence with
Expressing the certainty and stability of their love.

On some death do us part, then it end shit
Emphasizing their commitment to stay together until death separates them.

I know the both of us believe in what we know and trust
Acknowledging the mutual trust and understanding in their relationship.

Simple and grounded it's enough don't think we need too much
Believing that their relationship is fulfilling without excessive extravagance or materialism.

Way they define relationships I don't believe that love
Disagreeing with traditional definitions of love and relationships.

Cause all that other shit is fake if I believe in us
Believing that their love is genuine and real.

We go through up and downs but neither of us run around
Acknowledging the difficulties in their relationship while also affirming their commitment to each other.

We know something's coming up then it's coming out
Valuing communication and transparency in their relationship.

Cause I could do the usual, tell you that you're beautiful
Rejecting clichéd expressions of love and admiration.

Tell you when I get some money, everything I do for you
Rejecting conditional expressions of love that are linked to material possessions.

But I don't think you really want to hear it
Recognizing that their partner wants more than just empty words.

I think about our friendship and I think it's more endearing
Valuing the friendship aspect of their relationship as more important than superficial expressions of love.

When I'm getting out of work and I need some mental clearance
Describing how their partner helps them to clear their mind after work.

Then we sit around complaining while we share a couple spirits
Enjoying each other's company over drinks and venting about life's frustrations.

Uh, that's the shit that makes me feel affection
Describing the small, everyday moments that make their relationship special.

When I know I got somebody else to help me through the tension
Feeling grateful for their partner's support and comfort during difficult times.

So that other shit don't mean a thing to me
Expressing that material possessions and grand gestures are ultimately meaningless compared to the strength of their love.

Just sit down on the couch and have a drink with me
Valuing the simple pleasures of spending time with each other.
