Every morning
I've been running
Chasing Every piece of you
When you jump ship
It's sunken
It's something you already knew
If I'm the only one, drowning in the ocean
I will let your waves around

Sending us away, leave me feeling broken
You will never be tied down.

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
It's a perfect storm but I love it
I'll take the pain with the pleasure
I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
It's a perfect storm but I love it
I'll take the pain with the pleasure
I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...

You're a vision, my religion
Nothing ever felt so right
You are the condition, my addiction
I will be your sacrifice
If I'm the only one, drowning in the ocean
I will let your waves around
Sending us away, leave me feeling broken
You will never be tied down.

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
It's a perfect storm but I love it
I'll take the pain with the pleasure
I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
It's a perfect storm but I love it
I'll take the pain with the pleasure

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather be...

Overall Meaning

The song "Loveless" by Lost Kings is a tale of a person who is deeply in love with another, even though their relationship is far from perfect. The singer is willing to endure any amount of pain and heartbreak just to be close to their beloved. The lyrics are especially poignant in the way they depict the singer's refusal to give up on their love, even as they feel like they're drowning in the stormy seas of the relationship.

The line "If I'm the only one, drowning in the ocean / I will let your waves around" is a great example of the sort of emotional sacrifice that the singer is willing to make. Despite feeling like they're barely keeping their head above water, they're still willing to cling to their beloved, even as they are slowly dragged under. The chorus reinforces this idea, with the singer saying that they'd rather be "love sick" than "loveless," even though the love they're feeling is causing them a great deal of pain.

Line by Line Meaning

Every morning
Every day when I wake up

I've been running
I have been pursuing

Chasing every piece of you
Trying to capture every part of who you are

When you jump ship
When you decide to leave

It's sunken
It's already done and beyond repair

It's something you already knew
You were aware of the outcome beforehand

If I'm the only one, drowning in the ocean
If I'm the only one struggling with our relationship

I will let your waves around
I will let your influence surround me

Sending us away, leave me feeling broken
Our separation leaves me feeling devastated

You will never be tied down
You refuse to be committed

I'd rather be love sick than loveless
I'd rather feel the pain of love than be without it
