What Love Is

(album: 52 | This Year - 2023)

Love will dance on your lips
Balance on your fingertips
Like a midnight cigarette, it burns you
Love will talk, love will tell
Be your heaven or be your hell
Always the greatest lesson that never learns you
Love's a laugh and you're a clown
Saves your life, knocks you down
It don't feel it even when it hurts you

So what is love? It's everything
It's bended knees and diamond rings
Summer days and thunder storms and lightning
You build it on starry skies
Shaky ground and crazy fights
Reason for the story that you're writing

That's what love is
That's what love is
That's what love is

It's kisses in a picture frame
A feeling that you give a name
A thousand miles of driving on my heartbeat
It's obvious, it's a mystery
Makes you blind and makes you see
It's "I do" in the white sand and your bare feet
It's the reason that you don't go down an old street

So what is love? It's everything
It's bended knees and diamond rings
Summer days and thunder storms and lightning
You build it on starry skies
Shaky ground and crazy fights
Reason for the story that you're writing
Like a promise in the backseat at the drive-in

That's what love is
That's what love is
That's what love is
That's what love is

That's what love is, baby's prayer
Love is, a double dare
Love is, everywhere
That's what love is, bittersweet
Love is, the enemy
Love is, the only thing in this world you ever need
Love is
That's what love is
That's what love is, a runaway
Love is, say you stay
Love is, a lot of prayers all it takes
That's what love is
That's what love is

Love will dance on your lips
Balance on your fingertips
Like a midnight cigarette, it burns you
