Only Love Lyrics
How young are you gonna be when you die?
I guess I've never really thought about that
You're dying when you start thinking like that
All I know is time is undefeated so far
Get right with god before it's time
I hear the telephone works both ways
Think he could make a little effort someday
I got an awful lot going on with the things that I can see
And what I see are the reasons that I bleed
And the blood I give to her, and her
That's all there is
It's only love that keeps us here
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
Separate these lives like there's a truth
How do you know and who the hell told you?
You've all been lying since you murdered my youth
I know you're gonna take what's left
But you'll never see me run
No, here I am
Can you see what's in these hands?
It's everything I need to see, to breathe, to feel
It's only love that keeps us here
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
I lie awake on this earth
I lay with all that I love
And all I need on this earth
Not what's below or above
It's only love that keeps us here
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
At the end there is only love
I guess I've never really thought about that
You're dying when you start thinking like that
All I know is time is undefeated so far
I hear the telephone works both ways
Think he could make a little effort someday
I got an awful lot going on with the things that I can see
And the blood I give to her, and her
That's all there is
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
How do you know and who the hell told you?
You've all been lying since you murdered my youth
I know you're gonna take what's left
But you'll never see me run
Can you see what's in these hands?
It's everything I need to see, to breathe, to feel
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
I lay with all that I love
And all I need on this earth
Not what's below or above
These food and these drinks, they're all poison
And life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
At the end there is only love

My favorite one in the new album My Shame Is True. the song is about the power of love. good or bad, life & death. we must stay positive and enjoy our life...
..... It's only love that keeps us here And this food and these dreams they are poison And life is good So die well with some good distractions At the end there is only love
Exactly! You have it right, sir.
Exactly! You have it right, sir.
It's about living and dying well. Despite the fact that there are awful things that will happen to you in life, you must live a good one. He's also singing about how you shouldn't be worried about death, because that anxiety will diminish the quality of your life. Great song by a great lyricist. I don't like this album quite as much as This Addiction, but I do greatly enjoy My Shame Is True because of songs like this.
Thank you for adding the lyrics, but they are incorrect in one instance, at least. My source? The lyric book that came with the CD.
It is "And life is death," instead of "And life is good,"
But thank you very much for adding these.
