Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
When I first met you my life turned a page
Chapter one was how true love was made
You taught me with your kiss
Things about romance I'd missed
You knew everything from A to Z
What pleases you and what pleases me
Girl when you touch me
I began to understand (oh)
You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love
(Oh Brian help me sing)
Each time I hold you
I find something new
'Cause I know what I love about you baby
Girl I discovered
You bring out the lover in me (yeah, yeah)
Your like a fire that burns in my soul
Like a volcano I'm ready to blow
'Cause every time I look at you I feel
Love I can't explain (oh)
I hear what your heart is saying to me
I see the picture so clearly
I'm thirsty for the knowledge true love brings, baby
When you're near me
You wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of you
Oh you wrote the book
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
'Cause you, babe you wrote the book
You wrote the book on love
You wrote the book on love
Chapter one was how true love was made
You taught me with your kiss
Things about romance I'd missed
You knew everything from A to Z
What pleases you and what pleases me
Girl when you touch me
I began to understand (oh)
You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love
(Oh Brian help me sing)
Each time I hold you
I find something new
'Cause I know what I love about you baby
Girl I discovered
You bring out the lover in me (yeah, yeah)
Your like a fire that burns in my soul
Like a volcano I'm ready to blow
'Cause every time I look at you I feel
Love I can't explain (oh)
I hear what your heart is saying to me
I see the picture so clearly
I'm thirsty for the knowledge true love brings, baby
When you're near me
You wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of you
Oh you wrote the book
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
'Cause you, babe you wrote the book
You wrote the book on love
You wrote the book on love

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Sweet!
