Love of My Life
alybob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put together to make a giant lagoon
And I know that it's dumb 'cause you're just a dude
And I swore to myself to never again be ripped in two
But I made myself vulnerable down to the bone
And I simply hope I don't end up alone
Back to the start with the stone-cold heart
Or rewind back to the tears and the saddest part
But I know it's all worth it the good and the bad
'Cause you're the best love that I've ever had
And it's hard for me to say since it's gone the other way
Before I met you on the street on that faithful day
And if I marry you, don't believe in God but I'll be blessed
'Cause you are the best
Lay my head upon your chest, love of my life
I love you more than all of the ponds
Poured together to make a beautiful bond
I know that it's silly 'cause you're just like me
A person still thinkin' 'bout who they wanna be
But you've seen my dimensions and all of my walls
And somehow you still like me through it all
I know I'm annoying 'cause I get so stressed
By things that don't matter and you're put to the test
But you pass every time, every rhythm and rhyme
I'll never leave you in the dust, never get left behind
And I am so humbled, thankful to be yours
No doubts in my mind, I know I am surely sure
But if you left I'd be fine, it would really suck
But I love myself enough, took me years this tough
For you, love of my life
