Love Is An Unfamiliar Name Lyrics

Love is an unfamiliar name
Present and future, I'm gonna find you
I'm ready for silence and the heat
What have you got?
Limited value on my stuff
Rising and falling, yeah I'm gonna cut loose
Love is an unfamiliar name
What have you got?

Love is an unfamiliar name
I keep on trying to reach you but you're never the same
I'm ready for silence and the heat
But I'm tired and worn and it wont let me sleep

So caught up in my lone communion
Will you get this honey?
I'm for sticking

Forever remember who you are
Present and future, I'm gonna love you
Steady the minus and the plus
What do you need?
This limited value on my stuff
Falling and rising, I'm gonna cut loose
Love is an unfamiliar name
What have you got?

Love is an unfamiliar name!
I keep on trying to reach you but you're never the same
I'm ready for silence and the heat
But I'm tired and worn and it wont let me sleep

So caught up in my lone communion
Will you get this honey?
I'm for sticking

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
etc.

So caught up in my lone communion
Will you get this honey?
I'm for sticking

Love is an unfamiliar name
Present and future, I'm gonna find you

Rising and falling, yeah I'm gonna cut loose
Love is an unfamiliar name
What have you got?

Love is an unfamiliar name
I keep on trying to reach you but you're never the same
I'm ready for silence and the heat
But I'm tired and worn and it wont let me sleep

I'm for sticking

So caught up in my lone communion

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is amazing. It sounds a lot like Shame by PJ Harvey but...fook it, both are good.

I found a mistake

it's "falling and rising" not "rising and falling".

It just sounds like she's in love with someone, "caught up in my lone communion", that it's maybe one-sided or they don't know, and that she's for sticking.
