My Name Is Love Lyrics

What's your name?
Just tell me where you can be found
My name is love, I can't be bound, no
Then name your cost,
then let me pay, my time is short
My name is love, I can't be bought, no

When everything in sight
Ups and changes our lives
When everything else has died
My name is love
My name is love
My name is love
love
love

All I say is
My life has changed in many ways
If your name is love show me some grace, yeah

When everything you know
Falls apart when the wind blows
When everything seems so tough
My name is love
My name is love
My name is love
love
love

And the water's flowing up
Up the mountain that you choose
Is it you that's climbing me
Or is it me that's climbing you?

When everything you know falls apart when the wind blows
When everything else has died
My name is love

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 awesome, I just finished reading The Host by Stephanie Myers(who is a awesome!!!) and this was one of the songs on her play list, it describes Wanda so well. I just can't stop listening to it. YEEk!

I have no idea if Rob Dickinson is religious (I myself am not), but it seems to me that this song is about Jesus or God, or some other spirituality. Love of/from God has often been spoken in stories and songs as something unbreakable and eternal, even when things are tough and things fall apart. It can't be bound or bought, it just is. The mention of "show me some grace" in one of the lines hints further at this. Mountain and water symbolism is also associated with religion. If the song isn't meant to be taken directly at face value, I think it's about faith.
